As Carolyn See says, writing guides are like preachers on Sundaythere may be a lot of them, but you cant have too many, and theres always an audience of the faithful. And while Making a Literary Life is ostensibly a book that teaches you how to write, it really teaches you how to make your interior life into your exterior life, how to find and join that community of likeminded souls youre sure is out there somewhere.Carolyn See distills a lifetime of experience as novelist, memoirist, critic, and creativewriting professor into this marvelously engaging howto book. Partly the nuts and bolts of writing (plot, point of view, character, voice) and partly an inspirational guide to living the life you dream of, Making a Literary Life takes you from the decision to become a writer to three months after the publication of your first book. A combination of writing and life strategies (do not tell everyone around you how you yearn to be a writer; send a charming note to someone you admire in the industry five days a week, every week, for the rest of your life; find the perfect characters right in front of you), Making a Literary Life is for people not usually considered part of the literary loop: the nonEast Coasters, the secret scribblers.With sagacity, a magical sense of humor, and an abiding belief in the possibilities offered to ordinary people living ordinary lives, Carolyn See has summed up her lifes work in a book so beguiling, irreverent, and giddily inspiring that you wont even realize its changing your life until it already has.
