Foreword
I find, in going over the following pages, that I have taken a most authoritative position; that, in some cases, I have written with apparent conceit and even apparent arrogance. I shall not change the passages which might seem to justify such conclusions. I have tried honestly and earnestly to set down the results of my experience in such a manner that they should be of actual help to those who wish to make a success of short story writing, and so have written frequently in the first person, and with vigorous decisiveness, wherever I wished to impress very forcibly certain points. It would be possible to remove my personality from these pages, but in doing so they' might be made less forceful; accordingly they shall remain as they are, without apology and without appeal.
