520			_a"The Lure of the Pen: A Book for Would-Be Authors" by Flora Klickmann is a guide on writing aimed at aspiring authors, written in the early 20th century. The book is designed to assist beginners in understanding the nuances of writing and what it takes to succeed in the literary world, stressing the importance of training, observation, and reading. It discusses the common pitfalls faced by writers and offers insights into developing style, technique, and subject matter. The opening of this work introduces the author's perspective on the challenges faced by novice writers in gaining acceptance in the publishing world. Klickmann shares her experience of reading thousands of manuscripts and highlights that many are rejected due to a lack of training, originality, or cohesion. She emphasizes that writing is a craft requiring training and practice, just like any other profession. The introduction sets the tone for the subsequent chapters, which will cover essential lessons in observation, reading for knowledge, and crafting one’s unique voice and style.
