Amazing!

Super informative, great advices and to the point. I would definitely listen to at again while writing so that I can apply each thing. One point about the narration, the quality of the wasn’t ideal but it’s wasn’t bad at all.

I would recommend it to anyone who wants to learn about writing that has no experience like me because it will give you the big picture.

concise summary of much research and good techniqu

I own a bunch of writing books and is the author notes in the later chapters it's not so much that all of this is brand-new is that it is concisely presented with the most recent research to explain why these techniques are valid and useful. I found her writing style to be concise Lively and supportive. I think the person reading this has a wonderful voice that reads pretty briskly it is one of the few books I've ever had to turn down to a lower rate on Audible but that's not a huge problem. solid recommendation to buy.

Terrific information

Terrific information on how to balance structure with creativity. The author's vocal performance was good, but the studio quality of the recording did not seem to be of a professional standard.
