Reviews

  • "A miracle of empathy, a tour de force of imaginative conjecture ... Writers were invented to produce books like this."
  • - Christopher Lehmann-Haupt, The New York Times on In This Sign
  • "Excellent ... not only artistically 'beautiful' but morally and spiritually beautiful as well."
  • - Joyce Carol Oates, Chicago Tribune on Rites of Passage
  • "Greenberg writes as brilliantly and familiarly of her adopted Colorado as Willa Cather did of her childhood in Nebraska."
  • - Washington Star on Founder's Praise
  • "Thought-provoking and heartwarming ... compellingly believable characterizations as well as a vibrant evocation of an ordinary life touched by pain and joy, love and sharing, commitment and hope."
  • - Booklist on A Season of Delight
  • "Greenberg hits her full storytelling stride. Stimulating and involving."
  • - Kirkus Reviews on Where The Road Goes
Thoughts of the Day


You have to like it - to want to do it.
It's work. There's a plot process, a psychological part - figuring out the characters' motives and personalities. There's a situational part laid on structure and character.
There are the words you use both in the characters and in the surround.
There are endless revisions, great and small (see #1). Writing is as earthbound as that.
