Description
A personal dive into the writing life similar to Stephen King's On Writing and a practical guide in line with Orson Scott Card's books on writing, Yours to Tell by World Fantasy and Stoker Award-winning authors Steve and Melanie Tem go over everything from the mechanics of writing, to how to find the time to write, to dealing with all the paper writers tend to collect.
"As I sat in the Odyssey Writing Workshop classroom where Melanie and Steve Tem were serving as writers-in-residence, I thought how fortunate the students were to participate in that magical experience. Through their unique 'dialogues on writing,' Melanie and Steve explored topics in a way that was both liberating and illuminating. Writers could disagree on how to write! And they could prompt each other to dig deeper into their thoughts and processes, eliciting unique insights. Students were delighted and fascinated. Now this book allows more writers to benefit from their invaluable explorations."
-- Jeanne Cavelos, bestselling author and director of the Odyssey Writing Workshops Charitable Trust
