"Brilliant stuff, and not at all the hackneyed tired advice you find in so many writing books." --Bookfox.com
"What's fabulous is we know of these writers, and here we get to know them better through their lectures and essays. With them, we explore the love/hate relationship a writer has with the mind, the words, the pen, and the reader."--Helen Gallagher, Opensalon.com
"These essays can be read for the illumination into the craft of writing,
"Much more entertaining is "The Writer s Notebook: Craft Essays From Tin House," which is a pretty fair summary of where actual writing instruction is at these days. Most of the essays originated in writing workshops run by the literary magazine "Tin House," and they include advice on sex writing by Steve Almond, on what you can learn from Shakespeare by Margot Livesey, and on revision by Chris Offutt, who compares the process to 'draining the kitchen sink and seeing what s in there, which is usually a mess.'"Charles McGrath, "The New York Times"
"We get all manner of books on writing around here and they tend to blend together but the offerings from Tin House always stand out. They've just published "The Writer's Notebook: Craft Essays from Tin House," which includes terrifically useful essays from the likes of Dorothy Allison, Rick Bass, Aimee Bender, Jim Krusoe, Antonya Nelson and Jim Shepard." The Elegant Variation

"The essays within "The Writer's Notebook" each offer a fresh perspective on various aspects of the writing craft...features an eclectic list of top shelf contributions each bound together by a pragmatic approach to teaching the craft of writing... If you can't actually attend the workshops, this is probably your next best bet." Mark Flanagan, About.com
