Review # 1 was written on 2017-12-20 00:00:00 Linda Miller I am reading this for my Creative Writing class. I really like it because it's down to earth, upbeat, and has very strong but simple instructions on how to improve my writing. Overall, this is a good book, but you can get the same instruction for less than half the price. It's a textbook, but the exact same lessons have been printed in how-to writing books for years.

Review # 2 was written on 2015-01-12 00:00:00 Azali Sukimi I have taught creative writing on the college level, and this is the only book that I have found can contribute to helping students understand what 'creative writing' is and actually helps them with their own writing. Without elaborating too much on why I think this is a good book, I would say that it combines excellent examples of fiction and poetry that are accessible and at the same time worthy of their genre. There is an absence of lingo and didactic admonishments, and most of all I get the feeling the authors truly enjoy their subject matter and are both writers and committed teachers.
