This is an incredibly important and wonderful book. If I ever graduate from writing articles and reviews to writing a 'proper' book, this will be my bible.
ReplyDeleteGreat to hear you have enjoyed the book. Which chapters did you find most inspiring?
DeleteThat's actually quite tricky to answer as there are a lot of very good chapters. But I think the most inspiring to me are Using Your Story in Your Writing, A Long Journey to Publication, Poetry Makes Us Better Humans, Writing Competitions, Submitting Your Manuscript and A Little Bit of Independence.
ReplyDeleteThanks - it's good to know!
ReplyDeleteIt was quite difficult to single out more than those. There isn't a bad or redundant chapter in the book.
ReplyDeleteI know a lot of work went into producing it.
ReplyDeleteI think it's a fabulous and extremely helpful book for any aspiring author.
