THE BYLINE BIBLE commands attention with this back cover quote:
"The New York Times, where many of Shapiro's pupils have first seen print...!"

Her book grew from the author's many years of teaching writing classes at the
New School in New York City. It delivers a concrete sequential direction to writing, making a pitch, submitting a well researched story, and revising.

Along the way, it gently inspires self assessment for an individual approach.

Readers are encouraged by Susan Shapiro's own professional experiences and articles as well as the many original first efforts by her students that were accepted for publication. Valuable plans are offered for readers to take their own great idea, to write it succinctly with a convincing cover letter, and to get it published.

This is the perfect introduction to empower those of us with that Letter to the Editor dynamic to develop our writing in a personal and honest way, with a little suspense and humor, plus a great lede.
