A two-time Edgar Award winner, Carlton Stowers has experienced highs and lows during his long literary career, all the while honing his writing skills and learning more about his chosen craft. In STORYTELLER, he chronicles the pitfalls and prat falls, suggests how best to pitch a book or article to editors, and explains the do's and don'ts of research and interviewing. While spinning a humorous story or two along the way, the author touches on the entire spectrum of writing for a living, producing what iconic university journalism professor David McHam calls "the best book on writing I've ever read."
