Thank You Mr Lukeman
Mr Lukeman's advice is incredible in this age where all rules, mores and sexes are blended. After this book in which he defends classic methods, I felt good again about returning to Melville and Dostoevsky, not to mention one of my all time favorites, Conrad, for reading and observation of their techniques. Thank you Mr Lukeman for writing this book. I read it twice, then made notes. For aspiring ...

How to Write a Great Query Letter

6 reviews
Noah Lukeman

Amazon, 2007

It doesn't get any easier than this....
Ah, the dreaded query letter. It's sad to think that a tiny introduction letter of your work can be the fine line between an author and literary representation. It's also sad because most authors don't enjoy writing them or don't know how. I was one of those writers only until recently. I've spent most of this year sending out query letters; I've gotten some rejections and am still waiting to ...

A Dash Of Style Paragraph and Section Breaks

4 reviews
Noah Lukeman

Amazon, 2007

THIS ARTICLE IS EXACTLY WHAT I NEEDED ... A GREAT HELP!
As a 40-year journalist (columnist/editor/publisher), and now author of three books, I thought I knew it all (famous last words). I was always fairly confident of my punctuation, grammar, POV, and the various techniques of writing, but frankly admit that I often hesitated when it came to paragraph and section breaks. So when I saw the title of Mr. Lukeman's Amazon Short, I thought: ...

Inside CentCom: The Unvarnished Truth About the Wars in Afghanistan and Iraq

The Military History of 9/11, Afghanistan and Iraq
This short, easily readable book concerns itself -as the title aptly implies- only with the view of those running the U.S. Central Command during the USS Cole, 9/11, the War in Afghanistan, and the War in Iraq. If you are looking for more breadth you will be disappointed, but taken for what it is the book is lucid, concise, and always straight to the point. What is useful about this book is ...

St. Martin's Press, 2002

Organic novel writing
There are many books available that tell you how to write a book according to a formula. This is not one of those books. Rather than providing aspiring writers with a template for writing a formulaic, but average, novel, Noah Lukeman discusses the characteristics of great fiction and instructs his readers on how to use these characteristics to organically create their own "masterpiece". Topics of ...

A great user-friendly punctuation book
As an incoming freshman entering college, I wanted to find some way to improve my writing. The aspects of my writing were fine, but sometimes it felt short of fully emphasizing an idea, or just connecting sentences better. So I picked up this book (I'll admit, the only thing that caught my attention was the cover at first) and I learned more about punctuation from this book than I ever did from ...

The Tragedy of Macbeth Part II: The Seed of Banquo
Noah Lukeman

Pegasus, 2008

Ambition, intrigue, betrayal, murder...In 1610, The Tragedy of Macbeth was first performed. 400 years later, the sequel. Ten years dead, Macbeth may lie in an uneasy grave, but the three witches who led the ill-fated thane to his tragic destiny still hover in Scotland's eerily medieval "fog and filthy air." Still, too, their cauldron boils with toil and trouble. Ten years king, Malcolm sits on an uneasy throne. If Malcolm's mind is haunted ...
