I highly recommend this book and its approach for anyone who is wanting to explore themselves through writing and in doing so become a better writer. - Michael Monks, Actor, Director, Acting Teacher
Powerful. Thought provoking. Important. Every line is a winner. I've never heard of a book like this, and the whole concept is so interesting! I loved every word! - Nancy Aronie - NPR commentator, author, columnist
Stories from the Muses is an incredible book, both a tool and a new way to explore. I certainly will apply these disquieting muses to my own work as a writer and a teacher. - Justen Ahren, Author of A Machine for Remember, and Founder of Devotion to Writing.
