If you're looking how to take your writing to a deeper level this is a book for you. It's full of practical suggestions and clear examples that guide the reader through the concepts and how they can implement those ideas into their own writing.
"Writing With A Heavy Heart has a lot of really good insights on grief and suggestions on how to incorporate them to fiction."

Jaden's Writing with a Heavy Heart helped me add layers to my characters who experience loss. The tools provided in this piece make it practical in my writing projects.
I'd definitely recommend this book to anyone writing about a grieving character. Denise's book is filled not only with information on the process of grieving, but also exercises and tips for using that knowledge to create authentic, engaging characters dealing with the loss.

Super helpful ways of looking at grief, and how to handle it with writing. Definitely worth the money.
