In this funny, moving, and revealing ride, Susan Shapiro recounts
her obsessive quest for success as a professional writer and the
beloved mentors who saved her life--and career--along the way.
Growing up in the Midwest, Susan Shapiro knew at a young age that
all she wanted in life was to become a writer. And so, as soon as
she graduated from college, she headed straight to New York City,
determined to break into the biz. A few hard knocks later, she
learned that it takes more than being a good writer to make a
living at it--the most successful professional writers, she
discovered, have great mentors to support, promote, adviser,
admonish, inform, infuriate, and sometimes give them a good kick in
the pants along the way. Only as Good As Your Word is a rollicking
chronicle of Shapiro's coming of age as a journalist and author.
It's also a revealing memoir that proves what Shapiro's been saying
all along: The most important lessons about writing really are, at
heart, important lessons about life. A must-read for all writers in
the publishing trenches, from the very green to the veterans.
