- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Very helpful book for the novice and seasoned writer.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Where can I find the PDF she talks about in the audiobook? Thank you.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Fantastic. I've read many books on writing and this is the real deal. One of the best. I'm going to listen to it at least 3 more times. I'm also going to read the books she cites as examples before the next listen. Oddly enough, I had only read a few. So I believe this is a book that is going to get better with each reread (or relisten).
