The Writer's Library by Nancy Pearl, Jeff Schwager

informative inspiring fast-paced

5.0

Excellent collection of interviews with celebrated authors, some of which I love, some that were brand new to me. Some common themes: all live surrounded by full bookcases, most grew up reading voraciously but some didn’t often because of dyslexia. Most said something like “oh they’re wonderful, I wish I could write that well”. They tend to immerse themselves in similar literature before writing but only on research while writing.
I do wish there was an index of books tagged with the another’s who mentioned then. Great way to get to know an author before reading their works.
