Praise for Bent on Writing, edited by Elizabeth Ruth:

"Good writing breeds good writing," says Elizabeth Ruth in the introduction to this anthology, and she's got to be right. How else could seventy pieces, all culled from one long-running reading series, be so consistently good?
Broken Pencil Magazine. Spring issue, 2003.

"Tasty bits make this collection a worthwhile read."
Jon Pressick, Publisher. TRADE: queer things. 2003.

"Literate, intelligent, and challenging."
Erotica Readers & Writers Association. 2003.
