Sun Signs for Writers is an innovative how-to for writers. For the first time ever, we are given information pertinent to our astrological signs. Ms. Walton-Porter teaches us how to strengthen our skills and work through our sign specific weaknesses.

For me, personally, being a Gemini is not conducive to finishing anything I start, yet now I have the skills to get me through even the worst of my short attention span issues.

I recommend this book to anyone who wants insightful help in becoming a better and more productive writer. ( )

When I received my copy of Sun Signs for Writers, I was taken by the lovely cover and the size, perfect for stuffing into a purse or bag to take along on a trip. What REALLY wowed me was the wonderful organization of the material and the sense of humor displayed along with great information about writers and their signs.

There is a list of famous writers at the end of each chapter which were born under that particular sign. There are also writing exercises to get you in gear.

I was particularly thankful for the section on "cusp writers" since I fall into that category myself (Capricorn-Aquarius).

Bev Walton-Porter has not only produced a helpful book on writers and astrology but has also given authors a great tool for developing characters using the Sun Signs as a model for them.

Bravo Bev! ( )
