This book
about writing and the imagination is essential reading for any writer, emerging
or experienced. Re-released with new material and updated advice for the 21st
century writer.
'I first read Dear
Writer as a nervy, secretive scribbler-in-journals
20 years ago. Reading this revised version I'm
struck again by its practical generosity
on technical matters — but am also inspired by the deeper,
more complex conversations
I think
I missed n
those early readings: about courage, about the
urgency and mystery and self-discovery of
the writing process. Dear Writer Revisited may masquerade — convincingly — as a book for beginners,
but its
lessons are mature and wise.'— Charlotte Wood, The Writer's Room Interviews
