Stephan Benzkofer's Reviews > Refuse to Be Done: How to Write and Rewrite a Novel in Three Drafts

Matt Bell's Refuse to Be Done is awesome, and I will now be promoting it as the Strunk & White of novel writing.

Bell's advice comes fast and furious — it is almost pointless to underline key passages; entire chapters get highlighted. The tips and tricks run the gamut, from helping the writer think about the big-picture process of creating a novel to smart hacks for crafting better sentences.

As Benjamin Dreyer says in his cover blurb, I will be keeping Refuse to Be Done close to hand as I work.
