Sometimes setting pen to paper requires bravery, and writing well
means breaking free of the rules learned in school. Liberating and
emboldening the beginning writer are the goals of Ted Kooser and
Steve Cox in this spirited book of practical wisdom that brings to
bear decades of invaluable experience in writing, teaching,
editing, and publishing.
Unlike "how to write" books that dwell on the angst and the
agony of the trade, "Writing Brave and Free" is upbeat and
accessible. The focus here is the work itself: how to get started
and how to keep going, and never is heard a discouraging word such
as "no," "not," or "never." Because of the wealth of their
experience, the authors can offer the sort of practical publishing
advice that novices need and yet rarely find. Organized in brief,
user-friendly chapters--on everything from sensory details to a
work environment, from creating suspense to revising and taking
criticism--the book allows aspiring (and practicing) writers to dip
in anywhere and find something of value.
