Editorial Reviews

Review

"From the author of A Writer's Book of Days, which SARK described as "the best sort of writer's book: You feel like writing as you read it! It is a spring-fed fountain of inspirations for the writers in us all.


Product Description

The lonely life of a writer need not be. According to this book, there are ways to break that isolation and find encouragement and support within groups of like-minded people. Sections include "Writing Practice Groups," "Creating Writing Prompts," "Group Leadership," and even "What to Do with the Bores, Whiners, Control Junkies, and Thugs." Whether the group is oriented toward writing the great American novel or a book of family memories, this useful guide offers an array of effective techniques to help writers achieve their goals.

5.0 out of 5 stars Writing Groups How-To, December 29, 2002
By Hal-Zina Bennett, Author-Writing Coach "Halbooks" (Northern California United States) - See all my reviews
As a teacher of creative writing, I hear horror stories about writing groups. I also hear stories about how helpful they've been. For years I've looked for a book to recommend to my students for putting together the latter kind--writing groups that respect and support the creative process. This is that book. If you've ever thought of starting or joining such a group, Writing Alone, Writing Together is required reading. It's the most comprehensive book ever written on the subject. Need I say more?

~Hal Zina Bennett, author of Write From the Heart and more than 30 successful books.

5.0 out of 5 stars As good as A Writer's Book of Days, May 16, 2003
As an author and writing teacher, I was more than pleased that Judy Reeves put so much of her good energy into the writing of this very necessary book. It's obvious that she's drawn on a wealth of personal experience and poured it all into these pages. Nowhere else does there exist such a comprehensive compilation of fears, facts, and fiction about the art, craft, and hard work of being a writer, whether you're Writing Alone or Writing Together.

5.0 out of 5 stars She does it again!!, February 12, 2004
By greg gorga (Santa Barbara, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This is a great resource, whether you are trying to piece together your own writing group, deciding how to choose a group to join, or hoping to reinvigorate your current group. Ms. Reeves offers plenty of practical advice, with true-to-life examples. This is a great follow-up to her collection of writing prompts, A Writer's Book of Days, which I have used almost daily for the past four years!
