So, when I had the opportunity to review a book on writing, I jumped at the chance. Getting in touch with my creative side is always a major plus. I can’t wait to share my review of Time to Write by Emily Winslow.

My Review
What a wonderful book on writing this is! Author Emily Winslow takes you through every stage and aspect of writing a book. From gathering ideas to your writing technique to word choices to dialogue to everything else in between, she offers helpful tips to help you get out of your own way and write.
Each chapter is short and easy to read. She provides information inside that is so helpful for the writing process. What I loved the most was how friendly she was to the entire process. I never felt overwhelmed with advice or hard and fast rules. Definitely worth reading!
