Writer's Workshop in a Box

Présentation de l'éditeur

Writing is hard work, and it may be terrifying, but it also can be one of the most rewarding ways to engage with yourself and the world. Good writing does not come easily; it takes a single-minded effort and skill. The Writer's Workshop in a Box is what every writer needs to develop that skill. Beautifully designed to sit on a desktop, its contents are intended to stimulate new ideas and guide writers as they navigate the sometimes arduous path to setting words down on paper.

The Writer's Workshop in a Box includes:

- The Art of Writing, a book to get writers started
- thirty cards presenting daily exercises for the writing life
- an exquisite blank book with a pen

The Art of Writing is a course book that addresses writing techniques as well as root problems every writer encounters: creative blocks, getting started but not finished, uneven writing, lack of confidence, uncontrollable plots, and ill-defined characters. Each "class" endows the writers with skills to overcome these problems, and provides writing tips that can be applied to both fiction and nonfiction. The book contains lessons that draw on the expertise of some of the great masters of creative writing:

- Dorothea Brande (author of Becoming a Writer)
- Eric Maisel (author of Deep Writing and Affirmations for Artists)
- Julia Cameron (author of The Artist's Way, The Vein of Gold, and The Right to Write)

The Writer's Workshop in a Box is the ideal gift for every budding writer and an effective way to inspire new authors to embrace their art and career.
