THE CAREER NOVELIST OR, DONALD MAASS II

I noticed in the "About the Author" section of Donald Maass' book The Fire in Fiction, that he offers a free downloadable version of his book The Career Novelist, that came out about ten years ago, and which is now available on the Donald Maass Literary Agency website (www.maassagency.com).

I investigated the possibility and here's what I discovered:

• Once again, Donald Maass gives an insightful, considered, and highly informed look into the agenting/publishing/authoring business. His writing, as always, is stunningly down-to-earth and easy to access, and often more funny than you might expect.
• Maass gives insider secrets away as if they are candy and helps writers who want to create novels over the long haul develop a healthy self-image, and workable business/career plan, and a college graduate's understanding of the industry.
• This possibly out-of-print book is probably not available in stores and was listed new on eBay starting at $79.99 (!), but is yours free for the cost of the paper and toner to print it (although it is 268 pages).
  
• This book, along with Maass' other books has, without a doubt, made me a better and better-informed writer.
