"So entertaining that bettering your prose is almost effortless."

"This book embodies the adage practice what you preach. Marcia's writing style is powerful in its own way: engaging, funny, instructive, and supportive. I've longed for a book on writing to recommend ... and this is it!"

"Wheaties for writing!"
--Sherri Henkin, author of Growing the Write Way blog
"Illuminating ... If some of those sharp-witted classical rhetoricians were blogging in today's idiom, they might sound like Marcia Riefer Johnston, delivering both quintessential and quirky writing tips along with charming, pointed asides. With bright style and nimble tips that even professional writers forget (or never knew), she channels the inspirations and lessons of her own writing career into a brisk giddyap for balky prose."
--Arthur Plotnik, author of Spunk & Bite
