Same as youtube

Just watch her YouTube videos says the basic things and is very wished and repetitious.

probably good for beginner writers

would have preferred to hear Jenna's humour delivered on her own voice, but the narrator did her best.

unfortunately this book didn't teach me anything new, but I have been writing and studying writing craft for almost five years so this is probably better suited to someone with less experience than myself.

Great!

First of all I should say I’m already a fan but I am also a writer trying to make my way through a rewrite of a first draft!

I love the dead pan and sweary delivery as well as the practical and straightforward advice she offers. There is some of this available in her videos but the format and the way the content is presented (linearly) is definitely a kick in the pants for any writer who is looking for one!
