Perfect book for a beginning workshop teacher and teachers with writing workshop teaching experience!
The pictures and videos challenge novice and experienced teachers to consider all the nuances of writing workshop including: physical environment, establishing routines, instruction, small group strategy work, charting and beyond. Great book for a building-wide book study as every teacher could find areas to refine their practices!

Phenomenal practical advice. Definitely engineered towards elementary, but there's a lot of great stuff for secondary as well.

Straightforward, maybe too much. Didn't see a lot of nuance to the approaches, but they weren't bad approaches. If you do the things outlined herein, I don't think you'd be a poor teacher. I do believe there is room to do more than is outlined herein.
