Readers' Favorite - Edith Wairimu

Allard's writing is lively and conversational. Reading this book is much like having coffee with a friendly mentor (bring your own coffee) who imparts a lot of wisdom through anecdotes, examples, and inspirational quotes. This book is a must have for any writer thinking about working in this genre.
