July Book Review #6

Book: Writing to Change the World by Mary Pipher
Age-range: 16 and up

I previously read Ms. Pipher's marvelous work Reviving Ophelia and enjoyed it immensely. I'm not sure why I was drawn to this book. It was, after all, primarily for non-fiction writers and I am definitely not one of those. After having read it, however, I think that any writer - any person - should read it. I may not agree with everything she believes or says, but I think her overall goal was remarkable and commendable. I am hoping to implement the lessons learned into my fiction. You should definitely read it, if for no other reason than the quotes in it are really great.

Happy reading!
