Review
Susan Wiggs (#1 NY Times best-seller): Bob Mayer is a gifted writer and a generous teacher. Terry Brooks (#1 NY Times best-seller): An invaluable resource for beginning & seasoned writers. Don't miss out. Elizabeth George (NY Times best-seller): Something for every writer. My hat is off to Bob. Chicken Soup Creator Jack Canfield (#1 NY Times best-seller): Your new Warrior-Writer focus is a great one. I always loved at Maui Writers Conference how your programs delved deeply into the psychological models you need to develop characters. Now you are using that same knowledge to develop people. As we say in California– way cool! Much love to you my friend, and congratulations on the new book it looks great! –Best-selling author quotes
