4.0

Some great parts, some mediocre. The chapters on POV, publishing, and character are great and unique to what I’ve seen elsewhere. Other chapters, however, are ho-hum and about what you’d find on the blog of a helpful editor. Still, the POV and publishing chapters (and voice to a lesser extent) were so good that I had to give it four stars. The POV chapter writer made two references to autism that seemed totally unnecessary and offensive but I didn’t notice any other major issues.
