Reviews

This is a lovely set of encouragement letters for writers! She touches all kinds of issues facing professional writers, but the book can be read by anyone interested in the ins and outs of writing. She's gracious, encouraging, and loving with an occasional kick in the pants (gently put, of course)! And I haven't started on all the great quotes! - Virginia Hanslien

The advice and inspiration in Love Letters to Writers lands where gentleness and a swift kick in the pants meet. It's wonderful to read in one sitting or just a little bit, day by day, for extra motivation to continue the work of writing. - Suzanne Terry

Although primarily written for those who identify as, in some sense, "professional writers", this easy-to-read book can be enjoyed by anyone who finds that they want to, or have to write - fiction or non-fiction, poetry or prose, for work or pleasure, or for the pleasure of working as a writer. - Adrienne Keller
