## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Depth Beyond Technique
*by S***X on February 2, 2024*

Brian McDonald's "Ink Spots" isn't your typical writing guide. It's a collection of insightful essays that go beyond mechanics and delve into what makes stories tick. He focuses on the deeper aspects of storytelling, like character development, theme exploration, and the invisible ink that connects with readers' emotions.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wish every writer read McDonald's books
*by C***T on September 12, 2022*

This and Invisible Ink are my favorite recommendations to give every writer I work with, along with McDonald's podcast "You Are A Storyteller". Other books and teachers may help writers learn the rules. McDonald helps them understand *why* the rules exist, and why we value stories as much as we do.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great companion to Invisible Ink
*by M***A on January 2, 2020*

I picked this up after having read Brian's INVISIBLE INK and his graphic novel OLD SOULS, looking for more of Brian's thoughts. It didn't disappoint! A compilation of his blog posts, this is a great dive into some of Brian's musings on the craft and a worthy pick up to go along with Invisible Ink. Definitely recommend this to anyone looking to improve on their craft or understand storytelling in general.
