Write Clear and Crisp prose
Testimonials
"After studying creative writing and belonging to a creative writing club, I still felt something was missing from my writing. Now I know. What was holding me back was how I started my sentences. Thanks, Mary. Your craft-manul Write Riveting Prose is a jewel." Jeff Thomas
"God knows how many creative writing courses I've taken, and spent some good money paying for creative writing services, all to slim success. In one afternoon of reading your writing book I've learned more than you can imagine. Thanks for the great advice! From now is easy street." Jack Doorly
"I've attended many book fairs and sought advice and creative writing tips from lots of people. Yet nothing has been as helpful as this humble e-book that I downloaded--almost as a second though. I'm pleased and happy with what I'm learning. I must confess that I've learned more from here than from the Strunk and White." Loren Biers
"Now that I know all the writing tips you explained in your craft-manual (writing Guide), I feel I can help my son to write his college essay. He will be admitted to top Ivy League schools--no doubt! I'm grateful to you Mary Duffy. Oh, something else: I feel like I can now write articles for blogs and newspapers; even tv writing." Nancy Brown
"I thought that if I bought software (writing software, fiction writing software, or even novel writing software) my writing would be more structured. But I was wrong. Writing software helps, but the secret is how you put your sentences together. In my case, I now realize that devices such as the Absolute and the Appositive, as you discuss in the craft-manual, are indispensable tools." Jeff Davis
"I'm the assistant dean of a small college. I went into Administration because I couldn't publish enough. After reading your book I feel like the scales have been pulled off my eyes--Thanks for all that great writing advice! Not only will I write academic articles, but also creative fiction. I already owned creative writing software and screenplay writing software, but never knew what to do with it." Sloan Waley
"I rank your Write Riveting Prose higher than the Elements of Style, by Strunk and white. While the Elements of Style are part of our culture and language, it isn't great help to writers; that is, with how to be creative with the language, with phrases, with clauses, with sentences. Write Riveting Prose is giving me more than I ever wished for in a book."
Maggie Fenlaw
"This new school year, my Principal asked me for a set of lesson plans again. I've just finished them, and what a joy it was to write them with confidence! I’m sure she won’t return them all marked up as she did last year. I only wish I had known about Write Riveting Prose last year. I feel I can even write a novel!"
- Patricia Burke
"Wow! I sent my Treasurer's Report and I am beaming. When a friend told me about your writing guide, she said, ‘Buy it—great writing tips.’ Well, I want to say that more than writing tips they are incredible tools that I can never misplace because they’re now fixed in my brains. Thanks Mary and Marc for sharing your Write Riveting Prose. "
- Bill Crest
"I am in the Mergers and Acquisitions end of Investment Bank. I do ‘Due Diligence,’ which means writing tons of prospectuses. Never really like it. With what I’ve learned from your downloadable writing guide, I’m now writing with more clarity and enjoying it. Such a great Return on Investment for such a small expenditure."
- M. Kim
I started writing a mystery novel ten years ago, and I could never get beyond a few chapters. I’ve bought and read every ‘How To Write’ book available in bookstores and still never made progress. After only a few hours of reading your e-book, I knew in my gut what was missing in my prose. It was an epiphany! Now I’m done with that mystery and I’m starting a new one. With the writing guide by my side I feel I can write just about anything, maybe even a literary novel.-.J. Agee
"I’ve been preaching and writing my sermons for the past twenty years. To be truthful, they were always a chore. Besides hanging over my head like an invisible sword, causing me untold anxiety, I could actually feel physical pain at not finishing on time. Now I write them with pleasure, and often think them good enough for publication as a book! Thanks, Mary, for being so unselfish and sharing your experience and success with me. I will buy Write Riveting Prose when it comes out in hard cover. "
Rev. Roseborough
