READER REVIEWS
“I just finished reading Thinking Write last night, and immediately started reading it again. There’s way too much stuff in there to “get it” the first time. I am using some of the techniques you suggested in the book, and have seen a vast improvement in my mood and my optimism. I’ve also attended your workshops at the last 2 Moonlight and Magnolias conferences. Amazing stuff you teach. Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom.”
~Cheryel Hutton
“Looking for inspiration this evening … found just what I needed in the pages of Thinking Write.”
~Carol Polakowski
“Thinking Write [is] an excellent book on how the subconscious and conscious mind work. Although I was familiar with the content from Psychology, I needed to be reminded again of the power within me to accomplish what I want to achieve. I recommend this to writers on the brink of writing and established writers who’ve had setbacks and obstacles, as well as those who want to move up to the next level. I also recommend it to anyone who wants to harness the power of their own mind to achieve their goals. There’s powerful stuff here.”
~Susan Sullivan, published author
“A lively owner’s manual for the aspiring writer’s mind, Thinking Write teaches writers how to use the best free tool they’ve got;not the pen, but the mind.”
~Stephanie Losee, freelance writer
“Kelly has tapped into the deep well of creative wisdom in Thinking Write. Brimming with gems of inspiration and practical guidance, she brings this mysterious process into the hands of anyone willing to follow her thoughtful, clear and wise counsel.

~Dr. Michael Brant DeMaria, Grammy-nominated composer, author and speaker
