Written in a question and answer format, The Writer's Mentor covers the common questions posed by new writers: when to write, how to write, where to write, how much writing, and so on.
Impressions: I have always wanted a mentor. Being unable to find one, I figured I was pretty much stuck mentoring myself. When I found this book, I had hoped that just maybe I'd find something of a better mentor than myself. Unfortunately the book didn't live up to even half of what I had hoped. It's okay, but it's definitely very basic and didn't really impress me. The author has an easy voice, and the book itself is an easy read, but if you're an advanced writer it's not going to help you much. She does have a few good suggestions of things to try here and there, but again, most of them I've tried, heard, or am doing.
