This is my first "must read" book yet! (They're a little hard to come by, but when you find one, it's pretty amazing.) And believe me, this "young writer's handbook" definitely deserves it -- even if you aren't a writer. I mean, who hasn't wondered, just once, how a writer's mind works when they're reading? This book creatively incorporates good pointers on writing and examples of well-written pieces in a funny and ultimately entertaining book. Even though it is a handbook, you can still read it cover-to-cover (like I did)!Rating: Must read for writers, pretty good for everyone else
An excellent review that offers readers a strong incentive to read the complete book.
ReplyDeleteSpilling Ink sounds like a wonderful book for YA writers. I will have to read it now, thanks to you! This blog is well written; I am going to pass it along to my graduate students who are always looking for recommended books for their students. Great job!

This book bought joy to my kids, this is their all time favorite book. I’m glad they liked it, they’ve never been to book reading, not till now. Nice blog by the way.
