A Reader's Advice to Writers

Laura Miller wrote an interesting article about her advice (as a reader) to novelists. The article appears in Salon.com. I don't necessarily agree with everything she said--  particularly the bit about humor-- but overall her points are valid and good ones to mull over. She also references  the recent lists of suggestions from authors that appears in The Guardian. I particularly enjoyed these lists by other writers.
