Editorial Reviews

Gr 8 Up-"The beautiful part of writing is that you don't have to get it right the first time, unlike, say a brain surgeon," wrote Robert Cormier. Such advice is typical of the practical down-to-earth material offered up in this user-friendly resource. Geared toward highly motivated students, it offers tips from getting published to accumulating published pieces that increase potential for college admission. For young writers considering journalism as a vocation, this encouraging source just may win them over. The authors' alternating voices strike a chord of friendly suggestions and professional plausibility. Dad and daughter are motivated, successful, and confident in their chosen fields. Their recommendations will entertain, re-focus, and rejuvenate worn and weary high school wordsmiths. The book concludes with a compilation of online sites that accept teen work. Some eager young writers will zip to the end to choose their publishing adventure, making this a book most likely to be read from back to front.-Alison Follos, North Country School, Lake Placid, NY Copyright 2005 Reed Business Information.
