Including: • writing tips • writing lessons • and group exercises Well-done, concise, organized. I could have used these chapters as a lesson plan for my high school writing classes. ?J. Ellis Starting a successful writing group is doable. Deborah holds your hand all the way through. ?C. Bozena Thank you for asking me to be a test reader. Doing so honed my own skills as a writer and gave me more confidence about finishing my book. Before reading this book, I would not have labelled myself as a writer. Now I do. ?M. Shortt Having group members' comments throughout the book is a real gift. The book comes alive; the reader is present in the room. ?D. Dunbar Hats off! Clearly written and easy to follow. ?D. Nielsen
