Book Reviews of The Writer's Notebook: Craft Essays from Tin House
Book Review: Interesting insights on writing
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this book as it was required by a creative writing class. Some fairly solid essays on the craft of writing from a variety of published authors. Even if you're not interested in writing professionally, the essays themselves offer up nice little nuggets that apply to life itself, not just the craft of writing.
Overall a fun and fascinating read.
