About this audiobook
Why do we write? What does it mean to be a writer?
This book contains no useful tips on grammar, style, or plot. Instead, it focuses on the observation and perspective that is needed to be a good writer - on the fact that writing is an expression of the art of living. A lovely journey through a very Edwardian world.
Author
