Julie C Dao: Writing in Color, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

So, you're thinking of writing a book. Or maybe you've written one and are wondering what to do with it. What does it take to publish a novel, or even a short story? If you're a writer of color, these questions might multiply; there's a lot of writing advice out there, and it can be hard to know how much of it applies to your own experiences. If any of this sounds like you, you're in the right place: this collection of essays, written exclusively by authors of color, is here to encourage and empower writers of all backgrounds to find their voices. Perhaps you're just getting started. Here you'll find a whole tool kit of advice from bestselling and award-winning authors for focusing on an idea, landing on a point of view, and learning which rules were meant to be broken. Or perhaps you have questions about everything beyond the first draft: What is it really like being a published author? These writers demystify the process, sharing personal stories specifically from their perspectives as authors of color. Every writer has a different journey. Maybe yours has already started. Or maybe it begins right here.
