The Way of the Writer

With an immediate sense of the author's considerable intelligence and considered intensity, narrator Mirron Willis reads this thorough, rigorous, and thought-provoking guide to finding one's voice and working in the real world as a writer. National Book Award winner and MacArthur Fellow Charles Johnson believes that writing is a serious business no matter whether one is working on a novel, a nonfiction essay, or a recipe. Using a conversational pace and conveying the author's wry sense of humor, Willis leads listeners through discussions on the sound of language, metaphor, opening sentences, imagery for all the senses, publishing contracts, and so much more. This is an audiobook that the budding or accomplished writer will want to return to time and again. B.P. � AudioFile 2017, Portland, Maine
