Reviews of If You Want To Write

"A fresh and vivid approach to all creative endeavors." —Publishers Weekly

“I have so much faith in Ueland’s book that if you buy it and it doesn’t help you, I will give you your money back. I won’t even say that about my books.” —Guy Kawasaki, MacUser

"An inspirational tract aimed at all those who would write but are prevented from so doing by shyness, fear or humility . . . I was with [Ueland] right up to the end and wanted to shout, 'Amen.'" —Andrei Codrescu, NPR

“Shining with the visionary high-mindedness of the old American avant-garde, this classic on unblocking your inner writer recommends watchful laziness, cheerful egotism, and flat-out joy.” —Utne Reader
