A very intriguing little book, filled with excellent ideas and practicals solutions to nebulous problems.

[A.M.]

I inhaled this in one sitting. It is really hard to write a craft book that is this easy to read. And with paperback format there are cute cartoons and graphic elements that make it easy to find (and hopefully take) the recommended actions.

From an author who is walking the walk. [her nonfic penname is Jessie L. Kwak, her writing name Jessie Kwak]

[Tabitha C]

Lots of great ideas, in manageable chunks. One of very few books on writing that I was able to get through. Has tips for both fiction and nonfiction. Could potentially use this for a high school class. Note some language and adult themes.
Would like to own.
