Reviews
A useful system for getting started and getting finished. * Anne M. Durbin, Bryn Mawr College *
More useful than any comparable writer's handbook for the kind of writing that most students actually have to do. * Paul Teverow, Missouri Southern State College *
Upper division students invariably say that this is the most useful they have encountered in college on how to write. * Dr. Bill M. Donovan, Loyola College in Maryland *
A good book which I will order as an optional reading."Eric Graig, Queens College
Will be enormously helpful to many different kinds of students. It directly and engagingly addresses real writers coping with real tasks, and presents practical solutions to common difficulties....Kaye avoids the egotism and artificiality that plague many who counsel beginning writers; he frees his reader to write independently, responsibly, and effectively in all circumstances. * Prudence L. Steiner, Director, Expository Writing Program, Harvard University Extension School *
This book tells us not just how to write, but how to live....[Kaye's] writer is a jujitsu artist who turns hostile, external pressure into force of feeling and expression. * Joseph G. Mayer, Principal Software Writer, Wang Laboratories, Inc. *
This is the best kind of writing book. Reading it lifts a veil from your eyes as it makes easily understandable those 'hidden' rules we've all occasionally followed, but have rarely if ever verbalized....A time-saver for anybody who writes under pressure. * Luis Hurtado-Sanchez, Integrated Office Systems Manager, Hewlett-Packard Company *
Kaye has done a great service to those of us...who must produce clear, persuasive, and action oriented writing as an essential part of our jobs....A useful and entertaining book. * Thomas J. Kelly, Vice President, IRM, Grumman Corporation *
