It's fair to say that anyone reviewing stuff on Dooyoo has at least a passing interest in writing, so I was surprised to see that Jacqui Bennett's writer's resource site 'Jacqui Bennett Writer's Bureau' had only received a handful of reviews from members, and very old reviews at that, for the most part.
