| "This
is the best idea for a writing book that I've ever seen. It's like
sitting in a room full of professional writers, and after each one
delivers a riff on one aspect of writing, the others weigh in to buttress,
amplify, refine, or add to what was said. It's an extended conversation
with writers who know what they're talking about—and what matters
in writing fiction that really communicates with readers." —Orson Scott Card |
