      Unique stories and great writing advice for writers of any age.
    • 5/5
      This book is a fantastic tool for aspiring writers. i really meant that. Read this book if you are even remotely considering writing books. Each author contributes a story and uses it to show you their process.

      These three ladies have such radically different approaches to writing. You will probably wonder how on earth such different individuals can possibly be critique partners. By the end you will come to understand that. You will also understand that marching to your own drum does not mean that you will fail. It just means you need to know what works for you.

      The stories themselves were good as well. Ladylike is a slowly building thriller that develops a friendship between species. I loved this story. It was brilliant and delightful. It also illustrated that sometimes you foreshadow without intending to and in your editing you might want to tweak what you foreshadow.

      Desert Canticle is a beautifully crafted tale of love. The twist will blow you over, then you will realize the breadcrumbs were there, you just didn't pick them up.

      The final story, or rather set of stories, were just so-so for me. But I don't like reading that genre of storytelling no matter who writes it.

      All-in-all an invaluable tool.
