The New Writer's Handbook, Volume 2

Beryl's essay, The Three S's, was written in response to a bloggers question: "What impact, if any, did your monastic experience have on your development as a writer."

The Three S's was chosen for the all-new 2008 edition (Vol. 2) of The Writer's New Handbook, an annual anthology of best advice for writers edited by Philip Martin and published by Scarletta Press.

With a preface by Ted Kooser (U.S. Poet Laureate)this volume contains expert tips & techniques for writers at any level and readings to refresh your craft and career.
