August Book #2

Book: Modern Library Writer's Workshop by Stephen Koch
Age-range: 16 and up
Recommended: Yes

While this book was, at times, dense and hard to muddle through it was also incredibly insightful and full to the brim of useful things for a writer to know.  I've found that I prefer books that don't order me to do certain activities, but instead tell me about what other people have done and maybe try it if I like.

There were a lot of quotes, and Koch referenced a lot of writers both classic and modern.  The scope was far-reaching and it would be beneficial to any type of writer from fiction to non-fiction, from poetry to memoir.

So, if you're a writer who is looking for your next book, this one's a good one!
