Maps of the Imagination: The Writer as Cartographer by Peter Turchi

challenging informative fast-paced

4.0

This book provides a look into using mapmaking as a metaphor for writing. Similar to the process if making a map, you must understand the “path” youre going to take. You must understand the audience. You must provide enough information so as to accurately convey your ideas in a way that fits your needs. As the book points out, similar to how a subway map is not  showing the exact path of the train, rather, what would be useful to the passenger. Overall, this book provides a good look into writing and the thinking that must be put into it, however, it did get a tad repetitive and seemed to be dragged on longer than necessary.
