What our readers think
Readers find this title to be a great resource for writing advice. It provides easy-to-follow tips and encourages writers to embrace their creativity.

- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5It's an ok book. His advice at points sounds like a Tony Robbins self help seminar, but he does have some decent advice in the middle. Be warned, the word processor section is absolute bull. A hammer doesn't make a blacksmith, nor does a word processor make a writer.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Adore this audiobook! Full of juicy content. This is what I call a "Real How To".
Special thanks to Narrator. Excellent work! - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I'm just starting my first novel and this was such an amazing find! If you're like me and have a loud inner critic listen to this one. Very encouraging and teaches you to embrace your writing spirit.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This book is, without a doubt, the best book I read this month!
Everything is super simple explained.
Thanks, Ronn. - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Short, to the point, and many helpful tips! I don't agree with everything that he states, but it was still useful to get a different perspective on common writing advice that is usually toted as truths. Writing is a personal process. Take what works and leave what doesn't.
