Roz Savage

Roz Savage is an ocean rower, environmental campaigner, author and speaker.

In case this makes her sound intrepid, you should know that as a child she was small, unathletic, and bookish (and is not so different now). Her parents were both Methodist preachers and moved house frequently, so the young Rosalind took refuge in books. She yearned to be a writer herself, but as she went through that painful process called "growing up", she lost sight of her dream.

She went to London and worked as a management consultant for 11 years, until an early mid-life crisis combined with an environmental epiphany made her decide to transform her life. She turned her back on a materialistic lifestyle and set out to row across oceans, using her adventures to

Howard Mittelmark

I've been writing and editing for a long time. A while ago, I got together with Sandra Newman, and we put everything we had figured out reading and working on hundreds, possibly thousands, of published and unpublished novels, and put it all into How Not To Write A Novel. It's sort of an encyclopedia of mistakes every beginning writer makes. It's very funny. Really. You can read some excerpts at hownottowriteanovel.com. I can't guarantee you'll write a good novel if you read it, but it would be very hard not to write a better novel.

I used to review a lot: many, many books for Kirkus Reviews, and also for newspapers, including the New York Times and the Washington Post. So I have all these reviews sitting around, and I thought I'd post some
