Comments About The Book And The Author
“No instructor has changed the course of my life more than Mark Hanen. His teaching style was a gift. . . . Words is chock-a-block full of many of the same crystal clear tips he taught in his classroom, and they are written in the same engaging style as when he presented them to his students. If readers take away even a smidgeon of his advice, they will be well on their way to becoming a better writer.”
Donna Kane’s reviews, essays, poetry, and short fiction have been published widely as well as been aired on CBC and Garrison Keillor’s Writer’s Almanac. She is the award-winning author of two collections of poetry, and her writing appears in several anthologies.
“When I get positive comments from crown counsel or colleagues about my report writing I recall that many of the writing skills I possess are a direct result of the class I took with Mark. He was a teacher who truly enriched my education. He taught me to organize my thoughts and clearly articulate them in my writing.”
Beth Parslow is a Sex Crimes Investigator & Supervisor with the RCMP.
With wisdom, clarity, and humour, Mark Hanen offers a common sense guide about how to write. . . . Mark’s approach is fresh and insightful. Student writers and even more experienced professional writers will benefit from having Mark Hanen’sWords at their fingertips.
