Add a dash of Spunk & Bite to your writing

One of DWP's favorite authors, Arthur Plotnik, sent me a note saying his fantastic book Spunk & Bite: A Writer's Guide to Bold, Contemporary Style is now available in trade paperback. This "Son of Spunky" edition has "the same content plus an appended study guide, at a better price. And much shinier." I urge all of you to run to the stores or click your way to Amazon and get this book. (Naturally, I'd appreciate it if you'd click through here.) Read my 2006 interview with Art. He's always engaging, inspiring, and fun. You'll find pleny of tidbits from the Great Plotnik!
