Industry Reviews

"A great resource and inspiration." --Richard Blanco, Inaugural Poet for President Barack Obama's second inauguration

"Entertaining and often illuminating, the incisive and concise quotations go on, page after page. Dipping into compendia such as this can be like eating cashews--it's hard to stop at just one canful. You keep reading and snacking. Just one page more . . ." --Mike Corrigan, Bridgton News book review

"Peter Bollen has compiled a magnificent collection of quotes that any writer, editor or photographer can identify with, from dealing with editors to questioning one's self. Very amusing and informative. Mr. Bollen has gone on a deep search to find the quotes that you can--at one time or another--find yourself in." --H. Joie Crockett, photo journalist

"A treasure, a welcome companion for any working writer. In this lonely field, one often feels blocked, stopped, and distracted . . . Refreshing . . . illustrates that so many others, especially the giants of this craft, have felt exactly the same and then gone on to publish wonderful stories. It is a source of solace, comfort and encouragement, much needed and much appreciated. It has a permanent place next to my computer keyboard." --Alan Lapidus, author of Everything by Design: My Life as an Architect
