"This book totally helped me think more critically about my writing style and how to improve it. I wish there were more books out there like this one."
"Voice is one of the hardest things to describe, let alone teach, in writing. This long-time writer, editor, and teacher weaves together interviews with some of the best writers working in English (from Greil Marcus to Junot Díaz) to get that roots of this pesky thing called "style.""
