How To Be A Writer

My collegue and friend, Cecilia Mangarra Brainard, has written a number of books, including two extremely well reviewed novels, both of them noted by the critics for their nuanced and persuasive conviction and realism: "Magdalena" and "When The Rainbow Goddess Wept." Now she's written a book for the beginning writer titled "Fundamentals of Creative Writing." In short, Cecilia covers all the bases for the tyro writer, immediately capturing the reader, connecting him/her with the concepts: She illustrates the points she makes with exerpts from her own novels. It works! Congratulations on the novel approach, Cecilia.
