A Must For ALL Writers of ALL Genres!

Lorraine Mace's latest book is nothing short of a fabulous laugh... in the very best sense of the word! The author, who is also Humour Columnist at Writing Magazine, shares insightful and hilarious anecdotes and snippets from her own writing experiences - as well as those of others, making this the perfect read in one sitting and/or dip-in-and-out-of book. Whatever you write about, you will walk away from this book feeling uplifted and in great company as you nod your head in agreement at the all too familiar writing blunders of the literary world!

I loved Lorraine's book. I enjoyed her observations on her experiences as a writer and found myself laughing out loud, nodding in agreement and sometimes shaking my head in disbelief at some of the things she has had to cope with.
A most entertaining read and a great insight into the life of a writer.
