wisdom of the literary greats, helping to guide modern-day authors who
wish to write fiction well, and to better understand the career and
lifestyle of a professional author. --Michael J. Ross, writer (www.
ross. ws ) " A wonderful resource for both individual writers, and
for writing groups. It helps writers feel that even when sitting alone
at their desks, they are not alone. Opening this book, they access the
wisdom of great writers, and the practical help and advice from Jurgen
Wolff, a generous and constructive writing companion." - Julie

book. The tone strikes a good balance between chatty and knowledgeable.
It's definitely a book I could use with my students. The layout of each
chapter works as a lesson plan - a presentation, with examples, followed
by practical exercises." - Robin Gott, creative writing teacher,
