My grandchildren, age nine and twelve, are thrilled with Mary Lane Kamberg's tips and tricks for writing good stories, essays and poems. This book is a must for budding young writers. Though it is written for children, it provides great suggestions for grownups too. It is easy to read and jam packed with ideas on how to get started, write and complete projects.

My ten year old grandson Jake never liked to write until he attended Mary Lane Kamberg's "I Love To Write Camp" this summer. Much of the presentation was based on her new book "The I Love To Write Book" and after monitoring a couple of classes with Jake I can tell you the book is a powerful motivational writing tool. As an author who has written award winning novels and fifty nostalgic essays during the past 25 years I assure you Mary Lane's book is a must buy! Even though "The I Love To Write Book" is written for children the tips and tricks will appeal to adults as well. The depth of Kamberg's writing runs from cookbooks and hundreds of articals and essays on a variety of subjects and of all things her most recent publication is Bono: Fighting World Hunger and Poverty. Mary Lane has won so many awards that her husband Ken had to build an extra room on their house to hold all of ML's literary treasures.

A love for writing is something to be nurtured. "The I Love to Write Book: Ideas & Tips for Young Writes" is a collection of tips, tricks, and advice for young writers. Whether they want to make a career out of their craft or just better hone their hobby, Kamberg gives the knowledge and lessons needed to improve a young writer's craft for any purpose. Fiction, non-fiction, letters, poetry, or short stories are all covered, making "The I Love to Write Book" an ideal gift for the young potential author in one's life.

I Love to Write book by Mary-Lane Kamberg is perfect for encouraging young writers. As an author I often give workshops to kids groups. It not only gives me some great ideas, but is a wonderful follow up for kids to use on their own. The format and exercises are easy to follow. The writing tips, definitions and examples are short, to the point, and exactly the information any writer can use. I highly recommend it to teachers, parents, and kids.
