Summary: At Last!
Review: I can't believe this hasn't been done sooner! I haven't been able to put the book down. I never liked writing exercises before, but now I'm filling my notebook! This book reveals the hard work that goes into being not just a successful writer, but an effective one. I recommend it to ANY author who wants to improve her craft. I also think that it would be wonderful to use as a text in creative writing courses. Jewell Parker Rhodes is not only a master of the craft of fiction, she is also a master teacher.

Summary: Simply Amazing......
Review: This book is incredible! There are so many outstanding examples of exceptional works by African-American writers. I am anxiously waiting for the December 2001 release of Ms. Parker-Rhodes new book, "The African-American Writer's Guide to Non-Fiction Writing and Publishing." I'm sure that all of the advice offered in it will be as beneficial and enlightening as the words of encouragement that are espoused in this book!

Summary: A wonderful resource for people of color and all people.
Review: What a wonderful resource this is. My writing partner and I have reaped hours of writing pleasure from the exercises and the resources this book has to offer. I applaud Ms. Parker Rhodes for compiling a great cast of writers who were willing to share their insights and stories to help their brothers and sisters develop their craft. However, though the book is geared toward black writers, the teachings are invaluable to anyone interested in improving their writing,
