Description:

An essential helpful guide, " How to Write is as useful a study of craft, or the professional conduct of a writing career, as I've seen ( Los Angeles Times ). Uniquely fusing practical advice on writing with his own insights into the craft, Pulitzer Prize-winning author Richard Rhodes constructs beautiful prose about the issues would-be writers are most afraid to articulate: * How do I dare write? * Where do I begin? * What do I do with this story I have to tell that fills and breaks my heart? Rich with personal vignettes about Rhodes's sources of inspiration, How to Write is also a memoir of one of the most original and celebrated writers of our day. "A remarkable work of self-revelation . . . How generous [Rhodes] is with his mind and his heart. Buy this book, buy it. It's a handbook on how to live." — The Washington Post "The author offers worthy encouragement for fighting psychological barriers, and useful advice on tools and research." — Publishers Weekly

“Fiction can show you a different world. It can take you somewhere you've never been. Once you've visited other worlds, like those who ate fairy fruit, you can never be entirely content with the world that you grew up in.“

Neil Gaiman
