Review
This was a really good listen. And Ms. Levine's voice was nice to listen to.
I think a lot of the suggestions here are geared toward young writers. But it can apply to older/adult writers as well.
It would probably be great especially if you were and English teacher.
I would love to be a writer. Even if that never happens, this did open my eyes to things as a reader, too.
Thanks for reading!
