Through scribing, a group can see a course to take and find their direction. The scribe aids the group to induce a greater vision and turn it into action.[2]

I love this book. First, generative scribing is a new field. It helps those of us who learn visually. Second, I love the way Kelvy wrote this book. It is following her experience as some who scribes. This book is for everybody who scribes, but also for those, who explore the art of listening. The book is a piece of art in itself. It is fun!
