Southern California Writers Association - Maddie Margarita

Spencer practices what she preaches in this treasure trove of advice that is spot on for improving your storytelling by showing how to give your readers what they crave. Her tips are the meat and potatoes, and her presentation is a rich concoction of observations that are equally relevant and entertaining. Her impressive understanding of the way we think and make connections makes this book not only enlightening but an excellent resource you'll want to keep close at hand.

Author - Marlis Manley Broadhead

The book is very good. The tips range from how and when to build tension and conflict to wisdom about word selection. Editing one's writing is key to improving one's art, and here, Pat's practical suggestions for keeping things from being boring offer pay dirt. We'd be wise too to memorize word lists in her appendices as we scan and scan what we write for opportunities to scratch words that keep readers from falling in love with our stories.

California Writers Circle - Stephen Iman

This informative book written by an accomplished author is an excellent aid to writers in improving their craft of writing.
Thank you, Pat Spencer.
