“Here is a must-have for would-be writers or anyone who has a good story to tell but isn't quite sure how to tell it. This fine book is a distillation of the wisdom they have accumulated and dispensed over the years. Put this on the shelf right beside Strunk and White.”
—Booklist
“This book is a product of the workshops [they] have given for many years and those not lucky enough to have participated in the workshops can now benefit from their no-nonsense wisdom. Readers will appreciate the hardcore approach of these two dedicated writers.”
—Publishers Weekly
"From the well-known writing seminars, they address all the elements of successful writing. A good primer for new writers; a fine reference book for any writer."

"The two authors encourage would-be writers. Their exercises get the juices flowing. This book, although joining an already saturated market is worth the shelf space."
—Library Journal
"Seamless and exceptionally engaging … the book is a valuable tool for the apprentice in search of practical advice on the craft of fiction and memoir writing from accomplished novelists."
— ForeWord
"This new column, The Writing Life, helps to choose the best [of the how-to-write books]... Writers seriously looking to have their work published should pick up SO YOU WANT TO WRITE. Wood's advice on getting your work published is extremely helpful and worth the cost of the book alone." —The St. Petersburg Times
