I have been a writer for 12 years, have purchased 48 books ( and then some) on every aspect of the writing craft and have several folders filled with print-outs on everything from variations on viewpoint, to why the, '8 items or less' signs in the supermarket are grammatically wrong. In short, I've read it all. At least I thought I had.This amazing little book has checklists for things I've never thought about . There  are checklists  for the basics: ideas, characters and plot, to checklists for organizing files, your  work space and  your time. And then there are the unexpected lists: what to consider when critiquing, how to manage a writers' group, write synopses, publish on Kindle  - and cook a three-course dinner while standing on your head! (Well, I'm sure there would be if Ms McAlister had thought of it.) I'll be recommending this book - indeed this series - to every writer I know.
