"Though specifically targeting young writers, this upbeat handbook is a wonderful instruction guide for writers of any age as well as a perfect text for any creative-writing classroom."--Kirkus Reviews, starred review
*"Stern and Faulkner lay out clear, detailed plans for each week of the month, identifying tasks to accomplish, questions to ask, distractions to avoid, and problems to solve. Although this is a realistic and practical guide, the authors consistently applaud their readers/writers and cheer them on, showing them that success is, in fact, always possible. This book is an ideal text to use with tween/teen writing groups in school and public libraries or in language arts/creative writing classes; but you should also have a copy on the shelf to hand to the student who is eager to write and ready for a challenge."--School Library Connection, starred review
"The book's strength lies in its humorous and conversational reassurance . . . [and] gives writers permission to figure out what works for them . . . In addition to offering emotional support, the book has enormous practical value. Fun writing exercises, ideas to expand setting and characterization, suggestions for keeping track of word counts, and strategies for approaching the editing process help to keep the writing on track while breaking it into manageable components. VERDICT This book is a fantastic reminder that writing is fun. A must-have for anyone participating in National Novel Writing Month."--School Library Journal
