The third edition of a comprehensive writing guide that has been a game changer for thousands of writers.

From writing the virtuoso sentence to structuring your story, essay, or book, The Writer's Portable Mentor offers deeply craft-oriented guidance to writers at all levels, from beginner to advanced. Readers of this new edition will find thoroughly revised chapters on structure and two new structures, the enumeration and the abecedarian; new model sentences and model paragraphs throughout the book; and the final section, Getting Your Work Into the World, completely rewritten and updated to account for the continuing changes in the publishing and blogging world. Priscilla Long trains the prose writer to write with a poet's ear and to observe with a painter's eye and offers extensive strategies for remaining happily productive and for navigating the current publishing industry to get the work out into the world. The Writer's Portable Mentor remains a must for every writer's bookshelf!
