Providing comfort food and inspiration for the aspiring novelist,
How To Write a Novel in 20 Pies offers novelist and writing coach
Amy Wallen's insider secrets on living the writing life. Filled
with chapters about writing, revising, submitting to an agent, and
book promotion, this book combines Wallen's experienced writing
advice with the brilliant illustrations of Emil Wilson, including
recipes for literary success and the full recipes for 20 sweet and
savory pies. As a novelist, memoirist, and associate director of
the New York State Summer Writers Institute, Amy Wallen has a few
things to say about the writing world, many of them irreverent and
snarky. From her perspective as a teacher, mentor, and published
author, her belief is that the way to survive the hard knocks of
writing a book and trying to get published is to bust a gut
working, laughing, and eating pie. With chapters including "Oh
Agent, Where Art Thou?", "Revising, Rewriting, and Reimagining,"
and "The Joy of Rejection," Wallen balances out the challenging
stages of the writing process with both sweet and savory goodness,
featuring recipes for chocolate pecan pie, salmon and portobello
pie, and the recipe for the best cherry pie ever. Throughout the
book, Wallen demystifies the vagaries of the publishing business,
providing delicious recipes that will keep your belly full even
when you're staring at an empty page. Her writing advice is neatly
paired with the brilliant illustrations of Emil Wilson, who shares
her sharp wit, sardonic look at the demands of the writing life,
and her mad love of pie. Combined, the stories, lessons, images,
and recipes will provide encouragement and camaraderie for the
novel-writing journey, from putting pen to page, to finding an
agent, to celebrating publication-all with a piece of pie.
