delmaamoun 's review for:

The Portable MFA in Creative Writing by The New York Writers Workshop
3.0

This book is both good and bad in a way, a solid 3 star thing. It has sections about all types of writing. Personally, I found fiction and magazine writing the it's interesting. It is written in a very anecdotal way which I enjoyed. Ur does get boring sometimes, and even though it is relatively short (at least per section) I skimmed through at least half of it, even in the interesting sections. It has some great tips that I didn't expect to find in an book about writing, but it's not in any way a reference. I guess it can be regarded as a collection of essays, enjoyable, but nothing too serious.
