San Francisco Book Review

"The One Week Writing Workshop is the perfect kickstart to any new writer’s career. Writer’s block will be a thing of the past for anyone who follows this guide. However, this book isn’t just for new writers; experienced writers will also gain valuable information from this resource. Author Karin Adams is a seasoned writer who shares her personal novel-writing method in this book. The book is designed like a seven-day workshop you would attend in person, however it gives the writer flexibility to complete the activities at their own pace…As someone who is more of a visual learner, I had a lot of fun learning the technique to create the storyboard…I found this book to be an excellent source for creativity, pacing, ideas, and unconventional methods that many authors may never have heard of…I recommend The One Week Writing Workshop to both new and veteran novelists of all ages." — ★★★★★

BlueInk Review

“This practical, detailed, yet compact book on writing helpfully serves those writers just starting out, as well as intermediate writers eager but unsure of how to start a novel…Despite its weeklong format, it also works as a general reference for writers to understand key concepts of story, setting, and character…Adams writes in a friendly voice, encouraging even anxious writers…Story structure is critical to the success of any book, yet few introductory-level books cover this topic. The author’s concept of basic story structure has an appealing simplicity sure to serve newbie writers along with more experienced readers attempting their first novel. Highly recommended for fans of Jessica Brody’s Save the Cat! Writes a Novel and Christopher Vogler’s The Writer’s Journey.”

Readers’ Favorite

“One Week Writing Workshop by Karin Adams is a wonderfully pragmatic and engaging approach to writing, making it a standout resource for both novice and seasoned writers. Adams’ own writing style within the workshop is comfortably conversational, making it accessible in how she provides a clear seven-day plan that guides readers. I think her encouragement to embrace the act of writing and experiment freely is extremely helpful and brings writers back to the joy of storytelling. The workshop excels in practical advice, such as using sensory details to bring settings to life and creating dynamic characters through innovative exercises…One Week Writing Workshop is a valuable tool for anyone looking to enhance their craft and stay inspired. Very highly recommended.” — ★★★★★
