"As a middle school English teacher, I have watched hundreds of students struggle with writing. The Young Writers' Toolkit helps all students become better, more effective writers. The material provides vivid, descriptive adjectives for hundreds of overused words, and it's so user-friendly. It is a wonderful resource that should be on every teacher's bookshelf." Jill Curtin, 6th Grade Teacher "Presented in a clear and logical format, the book hits all the key problem spots that bedevil those starting out in the craft. Authors Michael C. Fine and Veronica Hoyle-Kent do an excellent job helping writers sharpen their writing with easy-to-follow examples." Julie Ann Dawson, Bards and Sages Publishing "Young writers will surely benefit from reading this book cover-to-cover."

Writing well is even more challenging. “Young Writers’ Toolkit” is a user friendly tool for both teacher and student. It provides clear choices to help students improve the quality of their writing and to help teachers teach writing to their students. This is an excellent resource that every school should have."
