I read this book years ago, when I first started freelancing, and I found it to be very encouraging and helpful.

This book is so funny yet so helpful, for writer's of anything. One of my favorites.

Maybe I liked this book so much because Stephen King was an English teacher, and so was I. One helpful feature of the book was seeing how he wrote in WAY less than ideal circumstances, and he worked hard.

This book may be written for teens, but it's also helpful for any writer who wants solid information about writing. It's clear and to the point and really very interesting.

Anyone who wants to write for young adults should read the Harry Potter books. J.K. Rowling has mastered respecting kids and not talking down to them. We can all learn from her.

This book is only for serious writers who care about really picky things. Want to know if a semi-colon goes inside or outside quotation marks? This is the book that will have the answer.

An editor who works for me LOVES this book.

Not everyone wants to go the self-publishing route, but Dan Poynter's book is certainly the place to start if you want to give it a try.

The questions in this book will help YOU go back in time and remember what it's like to be a kid. That can be very helpful in writing for young adults.

Someone I know with a master's in creative writing recommends this book highly.

A writer I know recommends this book because she likes the author's conversational voice and his technical expertise.

If you're going to be a writer, you need a thesaurus. This one is my favorite. I find it very easy to use.

This book is very handy when you have some tricky problems, like "Is it 'farther' or 'further' that I want?"
