1,000 Creative Writing Prompts
Bryan Cohen and Jeremiah Jones
Creative writing prompts are short questions or situations that are meant to inspire you to write. Far beyond the typical, “It was a dark and stormy night…” story starters, this new collection of 1,000 prompts has been specifically formulated to dig deep into the creative process. The prompts employ thought-provoking questions, imaginative scenarios and humor to help writers of all ages defeat writer’s block.
Ann Patchett
“The journey from the head to the hand is perilous and lined with bodies. It is the road on which nearly everyone who wants to write—and many of the people who do write—get lost.” So writes Ann Patchett in The Getaway Car, a wisdom-packed short memoir of her life as a writer. Here, for the first time, one of America’s most celebrated authors (State of Wonder, Bel Canto, Truth and Beauty), talks at length about her literary career—the highs and the lows—and shares advice on the craft and art of writing.
Nathan Bransford
The most important thing to know about writing a novel is this: You can do it. And if you’ve already written one, you can write an even better one. Author and former literary agent Nathan Bransford shares his secrets for creating killer plots, fleshing out your first ideas, crafting compelling characters, and staying sane in the process.
