Published by Barnes & Noble, the book was Presented by the Author's Guild and Edited by Helen Hull. This is 1969 10th Printing. From the cover blurb: "This book is a comprehensive and imaginative collection of…essays on every phase of the writer's art and craft: forty noted authors discuss the making and marketing of the novel, short story, poem, magazine article, the TV and Film Play. Here is practical professional advice on problems of characterization, style, conflict, and plot for everyone who wants to write. This book was issued well before the internet, and exhibits nothing remotely akin to the modes necessary for writing today. Thus it should prove fascinating for anyone interested in such near-past thinking. We've provided two scans of the Table of Contents, which is fairly lengthy, so view it carefully.
