Review

"It's a perfect book for both beginning and advanced writing students. It's wonderfully inspirational and can be coupled with just about any teaching technique."--Erin Cressida Wilson, Duke University
"The finest book written on the art and spirit of writing."--Shann Ferch, Gonzaga University (Spokane, WA)
"I have consistently used "If You Want to Write" for eight years now in English 241, and the students have loved it every semester."--Mel Livatino, Truman College (Chicago, IL)
""If You Want to Write" does a superb job of reassuring student writers whose schooling has often robbed them of any confidence in their own voices. Nothing else I know does a better job of explaining to first-year college students the necessity of passion in the writer."--Shelby Grantham, Dartmouth College
