What They're Saying
Critics Review
This book provides rich tools and a wealth of knowledge for aspiring sports journalists who want to understand the field and become more proficient at sports writing, including interviewing, drafting stories and describing sports effectively. – Laura Franey, Millsaps CollegeThe most thorough delineation of the mechanics of sports writing is encompassed in this excellent work. But just as importantly, if not moreso, is the emphasis on how the best sports writing conveys the social and cultural context within the games sports writers report on; and the depth and variability of human behavior by those who play, and those who witness their play. – Al Barkow, Former editor of Golf Magazine, Author of USGA Book Award winner Gettin’ to the Dance Floor: An Oral History of American GolfA detailed, readable walk through the world of sports journalism for beginners to advanced college students investigating their potential future in the field. – Warren Kozireski, SUNY Brockport
