"My 'lonely quotient' as a biographer has dropped precipitously since subscribing to The Biographers Craft. I'm on the mend because I belong to a community now."
Charles J. Shields,
Mockingbird: A Portrait of Harper Lee (Henry Holt, 2006)

"Those of us who write biographies have yearned for a publication like that compiled by James McGrath Morris. Now we no longer yearn; instead, we devour his monthly posting."
Steve Weinberg,
Taking on the Trust: The Epic Battle of Ida Tarbell and John D. Rockefeller (Norton, 2008)

"It's the first thing I open when I see it in my inbox."
Robin Gerber,
Barbie and Ruth: The Story of the World's Most Famous Doll and the Woman Who Created Her (Harper, 2009)

"Essential viewing if you're in the biog business as reader or writer."
Grumpy Old Bookman (listed by the Guardian as one of the top ten literary blogs.)
