READERSVOICE.COM aims to collect a few interesting reading tips. Ian Jay is the author of the thrillers To Do or Die, and Echidna. He has also been a book reviewer for ABC Radio, Australia. I interviewed him about reviewing books, and how authors should keep a reviewer’s eye on their own writing.

He gave some great writing tips at his talk. After his talk he gave me a list of screenwriting books, including some great memoirs by screenwriters, which I’ve listed here. First up, Ian Jay.
