This book will help writers find their own voice--helping them move from raw outpourings to polished prose....The authors have focused on a writing skill that is very hard to teach, and they have done so successfully. The ideas they present are good, and the exercises should help writers get at the heart of their feelings and passions. from Writers Connection: Once in a while you come across a book that changes the way you think about the process of writing.
