Judy Bridges pours years of success as a writing mentor into her book, Shut Up and Write! The founder of Redbird Studio writing center in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Bridges coaches adult and young writers with a combination of tough love and humor that inspires as it instructs. The book is filled with stories and samples. Topics include: what it takes to be a writer, techniques for writing facts and fiction, bringing real and imagined characters to life, organizing thoughts and materials, mastering points of view, writing " from the inside," the "get and give "of critique, how to get happily published and much more.
Renowned for her warmth and fresh insights, Judy Bridges is one of the few people who can say, "Shut Up and Write" without making the hair stand up on the back of your neck. She earned her living as a writer before founding the writing center where she taught (and learned from) over 6,000 aspiring and accomplished writers of all ages. In Shut Up and Write! she shares her wisdom with a no-nonsense, humorous voice that makes writing accessible and reading her book a joy!
