Write Outside the Lines (2012 edition) is the perfect hands-on, holistic workbook to let writers of all ages catapult their creativity and discover their best ideas!Most writing books present classic guidelines without providing ample exercises, or give scores of "prompts" with little technical guidance.

It's an essential, creative guide students will refer to for years.
