Reviews

Review of the first edition: It is written for a college audience, in fresh language and with humor.... One thing I especially like about the book is that it is easy to augment with classroom reading. Each chapter contains examples, whether of stories or of excerpts from stories. This is great for the student to see....my students always ask for an 'instruction manual' for feature writing, and this book offers that, and more. -Journalism & Mass Communication Educator
