Customer Rating: 

I echo much of what other reviewers have stated. This is an excellent resource that cuts to the meat of story. It's definitely worth the purchase price, and it belongs in the collection of anybody who wants to improve his/her writing.

Customer Rating: 

This book has no hidden clues about writing. I love it . It is simple ,plan, to the point and very easy to read. The writer, LaRocque did an excellent job with this one.

Customer Rating: 

I won;t reiterate the comprehensive summary of Mr. Morris below, but I second his sentiments. Having read many books about writing, I found Paula's to be exceptional. A writing coach has written a coaching book with straightforward lessons that must be followed to write like a pro. Ernest Hemingway would be proud of Paula's concise writing style--one that she espouses with examples throughout this text. I own the Kindle version, and it is broken into easily-digested chapters. I read one a day until I finished the book, and I am a better writer for it. Personally, I chose this textbook solely because of the five star reviews on Amazon. I am a tough reviewer. This book deserves its five star rating.

Customer Rating: 

I think the other 5-star reviews say it all, so I will just add another 5-star review here with the rest. Refreshingly, this book does not just focus on writing for business, but addresses fiction and other writing as well.

Customer Rating: 

This book shares secrets of the profi. They are so simple that you can't believe first. When I read a quarter of the book my writing style revived. Thanks to Paula LaRocque that pointed the way to great writing.
