Joyce Armstrong Carroll's Dr. JAC's Guide to Writing with Depth takes up where other writing guides leave off. The strategies for writing with depth as well as tips on ways to deepen writing would be book enough, but Carroll provides depth herself by offering models from literature children's, the classics, and contemporary to support her advice. Clearly, good writers use the techniques she suggests.

This book will remind you of the importance of crafting your writing. And it is well written. Drawing upon almost a half century of writing, studying writing, and teaching writing, Carroll sprinkles her text with personal anecdotes, much research. suggested books, and lines that stick in the brain, "Repetition is the drum of remembering." Each piece if advice is conveyed in brisk but clear prose and is followed by an "Application" so that you can immediately try the suggestion. All writers need this book on their reference shelves, and all teachers of writing need this book in their professional libraries.
