The Reviews are In!

The reviews for my new book The Third Brain are inspiring.  As Ruth Gordon famously said upon winning the Oscar in her later years, “A thing like this is so encouraging.”  It is heartening.  I want to share some of them with you guys.  If you haven’t got a copy yet, I hope you do.  Without teaching I wouldn’t have learned all this.  And without you students, there would have been no teaching.

“Inspiring and practical.  Clear and joyful.  This is the best book for writers anyone has written in decades and deserves to become one of the classics.” E. Lyon, author of ten writing books

“For the first time I wish there were ten stars to award.  Not 6. Not 7.  10!!  Cynthia guides you through steps in this book that will fire your imagination and open your heart.  Truly powerful.”  S. Cervine, film director

“Here in this book you will find the mentor you always wanted, the one you wished was in your corner and magically, generously, she is.  The Third Brain is the book that will take you from wanting to be to being a writer.”   D. Stone, poet

“The best writing professor in the world is Cynthia Whitcomb.  If you don’t know who she is, you’re not a working Hollywood screenwriter.  Cynthia has distilled down some serious mojo.  Buy this book.  You absolutely will not be disappointed.  Trust me on this.”  A. Horton, screenwriting mentor

“Cynthia Whitcomb makes the world a better place.  In this book she shows us how to reconnect to the joy that made us want to write in the first place.”  K.N.

“I love this book!  It helped me remember why I am a writer.  Magic is happening again.” Katherine, children’s and Y.A. author

“Finally a book that talks about the writer as a creative person.  So many writing books are about techniques.  Whitcomb provides us with the tools to create the space that allows creativity to emerge.  This allows the writer to engage their whole self in the process.  A refreshingly non-formulaic approach.  I highly recommend this book.”  T. Wise, novelist

“Cynthia hit the nail on the head explaining the difference between the right brain and left brain, the creative versus the logical.  But the third brain is where the magic happens.  I hated for it to end and I will be reading it several more times.”  LCW, novelist
