Customer Reviews

Fast and Practical

This is a fast read with practical, beneficial ideas primarily intended for the prose writer. Cook often refers to newspaper and magazine articles, radio pieces, and book chapters. His tone is extraordinarily chatty, almost to distraction, but his casual approach makes the advice seem designed specifically for just you and your writing. Plentiful examples from an eclectic array of pulications plus well-known and unknown writers help demonstrate the universality of the instruction he offers in this short, but utilitarian writer's manual.

A great guide for journalists

As someone who occasionally struggles with leads, I found this guide quite helpful in working out some of the kinks and better using my creativity. I've read it cover to cover several times and my only complaint is that I wish it were longer!
