Writing Critical Reviews
with Bill Marx
How do you review a book that doesn’t quite hit the mark? In Viva la Book Review’s first workshop, The Arts Fuse editor-in-chief and longtime critic for national publications Bill Marx teaches how to write effective, but fair, negative reviews.
“Principally to clear the ground of moldering rubbish, to chase away old ghosts, to help set the artist free.” – H.L. Mencken
Writing Positive Reviews
with Bill Marx
In his last workshop, Bill Marx went over what makes negative reviews. In his follow-up workshop, he teaches how we can write positive reviews without resorting to clichés and platitudes.
“[Now] is the time to gather with other lit-lovers who are passionate about maintaining book culture — readers who believe in independent evaluation rather than servile boosterism.” – Bill Marx
