The Writer's Toolbox is an excellent resource for Speech and Debate Students.  It will strengthen students' command of the language to be able to speak precisely and powerfully.  The 30 lessons are short but thorough, with exercises that truly translate into effective speech writing and the art of persuasion

Pat and Meagan Samuelsen have made learning to write more effectively an entertaining journey!  The Writer's Toolbox is filled with engaging examples and exercises to encourage lively, precise writing, and I dare say it would even appeal to the reluctant writer!

I loved The Writer's Toolbox! The lessons weren't stiff and confusing like some other books on writing can be; I had fun completing them–plus, I learned so many new writing devices at the same time! The examples were interesting, funny, and helped clarify each lesson, while the exercises helped me remember the techniques and put them into practice. Out of all the assignments we received for class, my friends and I always looked forward to The Writer's Toolbox!

I wish The Writer’s Toolbox had been available when my children were young.
