Customer Reviews

Great Creative Resource...
This book is just the book I needed to get my creative juices flowing again. I was in school for a long time and during those years I practically stopped thinking creatively and thought more technical because of the years and years of writing research and position papers. These types of papers didn't require me to think creatively, but to state facts and other scholarly opinions regarding the subject.

So, to help me find my creative side again...I decided to purchase this book. It's very easy to read. Instantly, as I read I had some ideas flowing of a short story that could turn into a novel. The author is able to take you step by step on how to think creatively, as well as, solid approaches to the writing process.

A Writer's Dream Come True
This book was great! It really covers everything from short stories to travel articles and anything in between. The only drawback for me was that the section on Screenplays didn't get too detailed about terms like EXT. and VO, which I know the meanings of, but would need to know when exactly to use them. This books is really a great resource for writers, beginning or published. It inspired me to really examine the world for plot ideas. This book is just ... great. Really, if you're an aspiring writer like me, you HAVE to have this one on your bookshelf.

Good start for a beginner writer
Quick reading - all the basics are there- great for a beginner writer - of whatever form they pick - novel - screenplay etc.
