Closest to the Fire: A Writer's Guide to Law and Lawyers

Book Description

Write about the law -- and get it right!

The world of law and lawyers, with its suspense, its moral quandaries, and its ripped-from-the-headlines subject matter, provides wonderful material for fiction. This guide will help writers explore these many story possibilities -- while avoiding the also-numerous pitfalls awaiting the unwary author.

Included throughout the book are ideas for stories or story elements based on the content and available for the readers' use.
