Att hitta glädje i skrivandet Fråga efter den hos din bokhandlare, eller beställ den på nätet.
"Kimselius delar frikostigt, handfast och inspirerande med sig av sina erfarenheter, kunskaper och upplevelser av att skriva berättelser och att vara författare. Att hitta glädje i skrivandet är en bok som fungerar som både sporre och handbok och passar för såväl deltagare på skrivarkurser
som aspirerande författare i blandade åldrar eller allmänt intresserade." BTJ-häftet nr 20, 2015. Lektör Henric Ahlgren
"Det är en ovanligt inspirerande bok. Så fort du släpper den går du direkt till datorn och börjar skriva själv. Därför att lusten blir SÅ stor efter att ha läst i denna bok att du helt enkelt inte vill göra något annat än att skriva!" Helena Milton
