RIP: Richard S. Prather 
Sad news. I've got a stack of Prather's Shell Scott books next to my bed. This site has some good information on Prather and a nice interview. That particular interview is what turned me on to Jack Woodford and his excellent book on writing Trial and Error.

There was a guy named Jack Woodford, who wrote the best book for writers that I ever read. It's called Writing and Selling. It was originally called Trial and Error. If you can find it, I highly recommend that book. I think it's the single best book for people who want to be writers.

You may be interested in my long interview with Richard S. Prather completed in late Dec. 2006, and sadly, has turned out to be his last interview.
