The subtitle tells us its focus: Being a Compilation of Papers Wherein Each of a Select Group of Authors Tells of the Difficulties of Authorship & How Such Trials Are Met. First, each author answers a similar set of questions: Do you use a typewriter, Is your Copy retyped by someone else, Do you correct more than one proof, Do you make many changes, Have you a characteristic bit of copy for reproducing?

Among the selected authors, all well known in the 1930s, are: Sherwood Anderson, Stephen Vincent Benet, Pearl Buck, Charles Waddell Chesnutt, Theodore Dreiser, Robinson Jeffers, MacKinlay Kantor, Sinclair Lewis, H.L. Mencken, Christopher Morley, and Edith Wharton.…
