Great courses (DVD)Mazer, Anne.
Summary: Two fine writers put their heads together and came up with an equally fine guide to their craft for beginners. Avoiding traditional chapters, the coauthors address issues by turns in short personal takes. Mazer speaks to beginnings, for example, while Potter tackles endings; and both have diverting things to say about everything that happens in between.
