Writing Alone Writing Together

There is no better handbook for the writer who writes alone or in a group than "Writing Alone, Writing Together." From exercises that foster a writing discipline to common sense advice on virtually every aspect of starting and maintaining a writing group, this book has no equal. I use it regularly in my writing practice, and it is an invaluable resource for the members of my writing group. BUY THIS BOOK! No...buy two copies, maybe three: one for yourself, one for your writing group's library, and one to give a friend.

Excellent book!

I bought this book when it first came out. I have since started my own writing practice group, in a town I recently moved to, and more and more people are attending each week. The guidelines and topics in the book are very helpful. I keep it as a reference as I go along.

I read Judy's first book, A Writer's Book of Days also and it has been helpful in my own writing. An excellent author who has done her homework! Well done!

Group Therapy for Writers

As a writing group participant this book gave me insight on how to enhance the experience. I learned when I had outgrown my group and when a new group is the right group for me. But besides all the group dynamics issues, the book also encouraged the writing process and made me feel safe in the writing world. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is currently in a group, wants to form a group, or wants to know how best to make the group experience work for them.

A Book for Writers, Music jams, all Creative groups.

Judy Reeves' love of writing, people and her craft is encouraging to all of us who spend so many hours of our day working on creative projects. Judy is a wonderful writer and her similes and metaphors make this book an enjoyable read, far beyond a rule book for developing writing groups. Judy's words encourage creativity by validating the worth of spending time on our creations. The book is applicable to any group that gathers together to support each other in creative pursuits, whether writing, art or music. Her encouragement to share our art with the wider public is another validation of the importance of our contributions. I highly recommend this book for all creative people, as well as those who want to find the key to keeping a creative group of people content and committed.

Bull?s Eye

Judy Reeves' latest writer's helper is chock full of supportive hints, tremendous insights and guidelines to forming, participating and getting the most out of a writing group. In her clear, concise and genial manner, Ms. Reeves breaks down the "ins & outs" of what writing groups can offer to either neophyte or established writers. It is apparent that Ms. Reeves has garnered much understanding and is excited to share information on how to participate in a writing group-the pages and margins of this book are brimming with assignments, suggestions, prompts, quotes, checklists, everything a writer might need to get going. This book walks the reader/writer through scenarios and suggestions, offering advice of how to start or find an established group and what to do once you are there. She hits on some of the basics, like how to make time to write in our busy lives, to understanding the "Qualities of a Good Group, all the way to dealing with the dreaded "Bores, Whiners and Thugs." She's masterfully included a "how to" guide for the process of reading and critiquing other's people's work. Her "Guidelines for Writing Practice" are worth the cost of this book alone. As with her previous book, "A Writer's Book of Days," Judy Reeves goes for the bull's eye and gets it.
