A Boston Globe Bestseller Writing is a solitary sport--but none of us can do it without good company at crucial moments. This spirited collection of inspiring and useful essays and exercises on the craft of writing is the next best thing to having an experienced writer at your side. These twenty-nine pieces, more than half of which have never been published in book form, include selections as unusual and diverse as behaviorist B. F. Skinner's "How to Discover What You Have to Say"; Brett Candlish Millier's investigation of the seventeen drafts of Elizabeth Bishop's poem "One Art"; Ursula Le Guin's "Where Do You Get Your Ideas From?"; Anne Eisenberg's "E-Mail and the New Epistolary Age"; and Nancy Mair's "The Writer's Thin Skin and Faint Heart." Other contributors include Gloria Naylor, Stanley Kunitz, Bernard Shaw, Natalie Goldberg, Anne Tyler, Rita Dove, Peter Elbow, and Gail Godwin.… (més)

Bolker has compiled a selection of essays to help the writer along whether your issue is tackling writer's block, finding voice or simply finding the heart to get started and keep with your writing. The most important lessons show you that you're not alone in the ways that you feel about writing and in particular your own writing. The authors use personal stories to illustrate the lessons they've picked up through the years. The lessons stick and provide ideas that you can incorporate into your own. What I was pleased most by was the inclusion of women writers and theirs stories of coming to write and coming to find voice. This is a volume that I'll go to whenever I'm feeling stuck unsure or just in need a good story. ( )

Since the day I decided to start writing my first book, this was the best purchase I ever made. Writing can be a solitary, disconcerting task, particularly when it's your first time and you have no benchmarks against which to measure yourself. This book, with essays about the craft of writing, and stories of personal experiences by seasoned, successful writers, is a beacon for the lost. ( )
