Reviews

FINALLY--a textbook on writing that's not a textbook but a real source of practical advice! --Terry Clark, University of Central Oklahoma<br> I'm a huge fan of this book. . . . Stepp's work manages to communicate the more mysterious nature of creativity in writing in a coherent, readily accessible way. --Kim Walsh-Childers, University of Florida<br> The lessons are straightforward, clear, and well-reasoned. . . . Stepp's categorization of the yin and the yang of journalism as 'craft' and 'magic' is brilliant, hitting just the right note for my students. --John Lenger, Harvard University Extension School<br>
