"This is the best idea for a writing book that I've ever seen.It's likesitting in a room full of professional writers, and after each one deliversa riff on one aspect of writing, the others weigh in to buttress, amplify, refine, or add to what was said.

I have every single page of this book starred for later reference in Google Reader, straight from the authors' website at http://www.magicalwords.net. I've read it all before, some of it multiple times.

Wonderful craft book from popular YA and Fantasy authors whose work I admire!
A good, solid discussion among writers about things most writers worry about (or at least talk about). I don't agree wholeheartedly with all stated among the opinions and advice, but it's a good read for anyone who wrestles with words for a living, especially those of us in the genre-moors. :)
This was written by some of my closest friends in the business, so I'm not going to say that I'm the most unbiased reviewer. But it's a very, very good writing book.
It has been a very useful tool for my work. Outstanding job at making the points clear and concise. Thank you!!
A wealth of information. I learned a ton.
