Review Quotes
"Teen Writer's Guide...is easy-to-read, entertaining (a must for teenagers), organized in a logical and easy-to-follow format, and best of all, contains language, instructions, and activities that are completely within the capabilities of my students.
Finally! I have a textbook that I can actually use! I am so excited for this book--its organization and content fits perfectly with the order and structure of my class, and its core connections make it even more teacher-friendly.
There is a dire need for Creative Writing textbooks in secondary education, and I am excited that now I--and many other Creative Writing teachers--will have a textbook that will help us teach this amazing subject."
