Synopsis :

Unlock the secret to being a writer! Turn to this practical and enjoyable guide by the bestselling author of A Writer’s Notebook and the ALA Notable Book Fig Pudding.

Surprise! There is no secret to being a writer. But there is a process.

Good writing isn't forged by magic or hatched out of thin air. Good writing happens when you follow certain steps to take control of your sentences―to make your words do what you want them to do. This book lifts the curtain on how writers work and helps aspiring writers discover their own writing process.

Perfect for classrooms, How Writers Work is full of practical wisdom. It's tailored especially for young writers, but aspiring authors of all ages can benefit from bestselling writer Ralph Fletcher's tips.

Everyone can struggle with the writing process at times. Unlock your potential by reading How Writers Work!
