Dupee, Julia - Anatomy of a Best Seller, September 25, 1991
Paper description
The account of childhood friends trying to write a “pulp” or “slop” novel and the difficulties involved. Following directions of “how to write a novel”—introducing characters, a conflict to be resolved, and denouement, the writer tells the pitfalls connected to dragging a story out for 400 pages and then trying to sell it.
