Author/poet/editor, Delma Luben, famous for being a writing teacher/advisor/muse, used to have a television show about writing and does writing seminars, including seminars at sea... Her book about "the world of writing" (THE WRITING WORLD, Living The Literary Life) is an absolute must for neophyte writers who desperately need to know how editors think...There are a ton of books on "how to write good," but this one was like having a mentor offering real and excellent reasons why they shouldn't give up on their dream.  -- RS Forum Editor, United Press International.
