"With writing now an epidemic, information about
therapeutic measures to address such afflictions has become practically
a public-health issue. One recent such book, and a good one, is "Writing
From The Inside Out."
-- L.A. Times
Magazine
"Palumbo is not your everyday therapist. He not
only has a patient ear but also a penchant for helping writers wrestle
with their demons. That's rare in a Hollywood culture that tends to think
mostly about numero uno. More than many studio executives or producers,
Palumbo understands a writer's ego needs, but he also appreciates the process
of becoming a writer."
-- Variety
"Finally a book that will not only help us become
better writers, but better human beings. In Writing from the Inside
Out, Dennis Palumbo speaks with a wise and authentic voice about the
trials and joys of both the writing experience and life itself. Filled
with humorous stories and practical, compassionate advice, he feels like
the best friend every writer wants and needs. Both a provocative and completely
comforting read."
-- Earlene
Fowler
Author of Seven Sisters and
Mariner's Compass
"People respond to Dennis. His column addresses
problems all writers face. He lets them know that, sitting there, alone
in their rooms, trying to do good work, they're really not alone, that
every writer has the same problems."
-- Written By
Magazine
"In Writing From the Inside Out, Dennis
Palumbo talks to you, befriends you, gains your trust and then, because
he is so convincing and effective, teaches his readers how to capture and
become comfortable with the writer's life--the pain, joy, struggle and
reward. He is the perfect teacher and companion for a writer in need of
support and inspiration."
-- Lee Gutkind
Editor, Creative Nonfiction
Author, Many Sleepless Nights

Los Angeles, where, God knows, he's needed to unblock...other's pain."
-- University
of Pittsburgh Magazine
"Dennis Palumbo's wise, compassionate and funny
Writing
From the Inside Out tells us something that remains a secret in the
writing business: Find a subject as a writer that holds your attention
so strongly that you forget yourself--and you're already in the money."

Poet, novelist
"Dennis genuinely cares about writers. And
in this town, that's saying a lot."

"Eminently practical advice on how to untangle
the mysterious vines of the creative process and successfully continue
the journey, and they flash with that rarest of things--wisdom."

Setlowe
Author, The Sexual Occupation
of Japan
and The Black Sea
"Palumbo is the man to see...he tackle(s) the
vagaries and emotional implications of toiling in the business in which
everyone's a critic...Palumbo offers his patients generous shots of compassion
and Zen-like insight...(he) recites the same theme(s)...in the overwhelmingly
popular monthly advice column he has penned over the past three years...(those)
close to Palumbo are quick to laud him as a rare commodity."
