Words of Praise

"BRILLIANT! Not only are your concepts and exercises both common-sensical and revolutionary, the writing is so calm, intelligent, friendly, unpretentious, precise, loving, funny and warm—it's inspiring to read this—and so moving, as I think about aspects of writing I haven't seen put into words before. I love this book. It's so true and so excellent and kick-ass."

— Kate Christensen, PEN/Faulkner Award-winning novelist and former faculty at Iowa Writers' Workshop

"Write What You Don't Know is like a writer's recipe box: first it helps you recognize the ingredients you already have at your fingertips. Then its clever exercises and prompts help you create a banquet out of your own stories and perspectives. Add a dash of encouragement, a heaping tablespoon of insight into the writers' process—and you end up feeling both spiritually and creatively well-nourished."

— Nicole Perlman, screenwriter of Guardians of the Galaxy

“It’s like meeting a part of yourself you didn’t know existed. What a gift!” — Wendy Shaw, artist

“After Imaginative Storm, writer’s block is a myth.” — Abdullah H. Erakat, journalist and screenwriter

"Every session has been deeper and more fulfilling. It's infusing my entire life with creativity." — Chris Minnich, businessman
