I have all of the Writing Active Setting books and together this series is a great tool for any writer looking to add power and depth to their Settings. I've taken several of Mary's on-line classes and she is one of my favorite teachers because of her straight forward, easy to understand approach to the craft of writing. She uses the same approach in her Active Setting books. I found her examples of hypothetical first and second drafts to be extremely helpful. I also appreciated her What Not To Do sections where she not only gave examples of what not to do, but she also walked you through possible revisions of those examples so you could see how to apply her lessons on Active Setting. I highly recommend this series to any writer who wants improve and grow in their craft.
