A Great Book By a Great Teacher
As one of Bill Roorbach's former students, I can assure readers that his is, indeed, a fantasic teacher of literature and creative writing; Writing Life Stories is true to Bill's teaching style and spirit.

Invaluable, and fun
I wasn't looking for a writing how-to, but I'd read Roorbach's previous book, "Summers With Juliet," so I decided to try this one.

Lively,encouraging advice for writers of all levels
I got a copy of Bill Roorbach's Writing Life Stories in August, but wasn't able to start reading it until this week because my grandmother got a hold of it and wouldn't give it back.

Inspiring, funny and genuinely useful to writers
Bill Roorbach accomplishes something difficult in this book; he gives the reader the feeling she is actually IN his workshop, learning among other writers.

A wonderful book about the craft and discipline of writing.
Although Writing Life Stories is also a book about turning "memories into memoirs" and "ideas into essays," it is mostly a book about turning "life into literature.
