“For artists in need of a creative fix, Light the Dark is as good as a visit from the divine muse.” –Bookpage
“These authors, with various backgrounds, tastes, and writing processes, demonstrate how an array of approaches can lead to stunning works. They emphasize the importance of creating a captivating voice and their struggles to mold opening sentences, but most important, they encourage aspiring artists to live fully, which will inform their writing. As they reveal what inspires them, they, in turn, inspire the reader, all while celebrating the beauty and purpose of art. With the personal appeal of Ray Bradbury’s Zen in the Art of Writing (1990) and Stephen King’s On Writing (1999), this is a must for every writing-guide collection.” –Booklist
