REVIEWS

"This book is a little jewel. Aggie Villanueva’s how-to changes your perspective of Amazon from that of an online book store to that of an author publicity machine. Amazon.com like its namesake – is a large, unfathomable, murky river with many secrets and many treasures. This book shines a light on one such secret – using the categories function on Amazon to create best sellers. This little book is essential reading for authors ... even those who hate Amazon!"

"The Rewritten Word is a brilliant little book! Villanueva tackles the "how-to" subject of writing with concise examples, lessons and exercises designed to help both the novice and established author. The information can be applied to fiction and nonfiction, as well as full length books, articles and essays. This is not a dry read or boring guide. Villanueva entertains while she goes about demonstrating her points. A must for anyone looking to make his or her writing more dynamic."
Review of The Rewritten Word by Darcia Helle

“If you're looking for a book about writing, this isn't the thing for you. If, however, you are looking for a book dedicated to the art of rewriting, then you need to swipe this up right away. Bestselling novelist Aggie Villanueva takes you through five separate lessons that will show you how to rewrite with clarity. By numerous examples she'll teach you how to find the right words that will add punch to your art, no matter the genre. A tiny book that is big on great advice.”
Review of The Rewritten by Cheryl C. Malandrinos

“Villanueva's book does not disappoint....a great reference book to go back to, it will remind writers as to why we do what we do. It's about the ideas, thoughts, and our passion down on paper. It's about going back to the drawing board and to work with what we have. Go pick up this book, my plot bunnies thank Aggie!”
Review of The Rewritten Word by Denise Alicea

“...not everyone reading The Rewritten Word will understand that tightening, coming to concise expressions of your meaning IS poetry, even when used in prose. Aggie Villanueva has made it easier for writers to get where they are going and to be read.”
Review of The Rewritten Word by Georgia Jones

“...she has done a better job than most of the manuals used and I suggested that she begin to market it to public and private schools for any grade level. An author you will want to follow.”

PHOTOGRAPHIC ART

 “…Villanueva is one of those rare individuals who uses new technology…to take a digital image to a new and exciting level….With some photographers this digitizing and manipulation are evident and stumbling...not so with Villanueva's work, which is sophisticated and well thought out….She has a knack for transferring her impression of a scene to the viewer that is remarkable and almost magical.

“She is known as the "Grandma Moses of the American Southwest," and the nickname fits as comfortably as a well-worn pair of jeans. Aggie Villanueva is a self-taught artist, a grandmother and something of a folk hero to anyone who opts to pursue a new vocation later in life. A photographer and writer, she lives in a modest cabin in the New Mexico Mountains and draws inspiration from the dazzling beauty of the Southwest. Her photographs are fantastic, even surreal.”
Thomas B. Harrison, Mobile Register
