In the December issue of STC’s Intercom magazine, I mentioned in the conclusion of my article that I’d post a suggested reading list. These are books that I think will take you further into the points I discussed, mainly because they’re books I read in the year(s) leading up to me writing that article (in July).

I just wanted to mention that your article in Intercom was really good. I actually didn't read Intercom all of last year, as it seemed to me that the articles didn't really apply to me. Again, nice article and I'm also glad that on a whim, I joined the Lone Writers SIG...Posted by Christopher Sloyer on 01 January 2010 at 05:39 AM
