Authors, screenwriters, and other writers, thank you so much for getting MASTER LISTS FOR WRITERS: GOLD EDITION! I’m so glad so many people are enjoying my reference book for writing. If you could leave a book review on Amazon and/or Goodreads, I would be so grateful. It doesn’t have to be long—just a line or two about what genre or kind of writing you use it for, what stage of writing you use it for (brainstorming or plotting, drafting, revising), or what your favorite lists are, would be great. Thank you again for getting the book! I hope you have a wonderful writing weekend!
