Unknown Author Why nacho loves this book

I picked this book in winter as I normally spend more time at home with not much to do. Probably the best decision I have made in my life. I enjoyed every moment of it. I connected with every character, I felt I was living in France for months. I reckon I dont think I am over it yet.

Book cover of Becoming a Writer

Thaisa Frank Author Of Finding Your Writer's Voice

From my list on discovering your distinctive path as a writer.

Why am I passionate about this?

I teach and publish short stories, novels, and flash fiction. I’m also interested in the language people use to critique writing. Concepts (suspense, for example) can be helpful, but they often co-opt the imagination and become gold standards for what good fiction should be. In addition to the writer’s voice, I’m interested in the alchemy of the story, which is always greater than the sum of its parts. Right now, I’m writing a book called Accordion Fiction. It's about the shape and rhythm of stories—how they contract and expand like an accordion.

Thaisa's book list on discovering your distinctive path as a writer

Thaisa Frank Why Thaisa loves this book

Brandt cuts through the mystique that “writing can’t be taught” and encourages writers to discover the creative and rational aspects of their consciousness—an approach that excites me as a writer and a teacher.

Brandt’s approach is useful for beginning writers and also for writers going through a dry period. I recommend it to all my students.

By Dorothea Brande ,

Why should I read it?

2 authors picked Becoming a Writer as one of their favorite books, and they share why you should read it.

What is this book about?

A reissue of a classic work published in 1934 on writing and the creative process, Becoming a Writer recaptures the excitement of Dorothea Brande's creative writing classroom of the 1920s. Decades before brain research "discovered" the role of the right and left brain in all human endeavor, Dorothea Brande was teaching students how to see again, how to hold their minds still, and how to call forth the inner writer.
