review 1: Helpful, inspiring, and funny, this was by far the best writing help book I've read. Okay, I've read maybe three, so I guess that's not saying much, but let me just say- I feel like writing now and I haven't had that feeling for a few months. My favorite chapter was Chapter 11- "What Goes in and What Doesn't"- with its handy lists of questions and practical tips. And by the way, the title is to catch your eye and has nothing to do with the content. Or the reader.
review 2: A great text for beginners in creative nonfiction, though I would prefer a little more about the personal essay, as opposed to the memoir. Easy to understand, not condescending, well-organized and explained, and practical. In my experience, students often sell back creative writing textbooks
... more(the didactic--not novels, memoirs, books of poetry, etc.), but think most students would hold onto this book after the class is over. less

Presents the information in a clear yet entertaining way. One of the best essay how-tos I've read.

She makes a writing career as an essayist or memoirist seem easy and doable.
