_______________________
Comprising fifty-two short pieces, Letters to a Young Writer is a direct address to the artistic, professional, and philosophical concerns that can challenge and torment an author.
Ranging from practical matters of authorship - such as finding an agent, the pros and cons of creative writing degrees and handling bad reviews - through to the more joyous and celebratory, this is an essential companion to any author's journey - and a deeply personal work from one of our greatest literary voices.
'A warm, open-hearted paean to the joys of writing' Sunday Times
'Practical writing advice meets a heartfelt love song to creativity' Irish Times
