Biographer Tells Technique . . . Author Covelle Newcomb Outlines Four gt;Point Program For Writers One day while crossing the street under a roaring ele vated train in New York City, Covelle Newcomb decided to become a writer. Since that time Miss Newcomb has pub lished The Broken Sword, The Red Hat, Larger Than the Sky, and seven other books. Through her own experiences, Miss Newcomb ex plained to high school students at the Journalism Work shop held here on Jan. 8 how these biogrpahies came about. Each writer has her own area of specialization, Miss Newcomb explained, and hers is books for young people. Self discipline, the habit of fol lowing a routine, careful research methods, and enthusiasm for the subject are necessary to the writer. Although she used to prefer writ ing at night, Miss Newcomb, a con vert who in private life is Mrs. Ad dison Burbank, explained that she now attends daily Mass and works during the day, preferably in a cold room. Her most popular book is The Red Hat, for which she gathered material when she was working for a Master's degree in English at Co lumbia university.
