pickA very readable & accessible book, full of useful, 'real-world' advice. Author is warm, down to earth & seems to be genuinely rooting for would-be writers. The bite-sized info is easy to digest & the comprehensive sections make it easy to return to specific advice when you require it. Harris is honest, knowledgeable & endlessly encouraging - even if you have no writing ambitions I'd still recommend as it's an enjoyable insight & totally feel good!
My last post mentioned how I'm on a bit of a jag for books about books/reading. I'm also heavily into books about writing. This one was purchased mainly because of the subject matter but also because it's dimensions are aesthetically pleasing and it has a ribbon bookmark 😍
Happy US publication day to this book! Joanne Harris has shared great tips for writers on Twitter threads over the years.
Some of her writerly wisdom and publishing insider knowledge is collected here!
