There are as many ways to become a writer as there are writers, and as many styles and voices as there are eager readers for them. One writing guide is not enough, and indeed, one type of writing guide is not enough. The Write Now! StoryBundle empowers you not just to become a better writer, but to discover the myriad ways one can become a writer.
The bundle, perfect for a New Year's Resolution, to start writing, includes practical guides to the particulars of being a working writer, memoiristic explorations of the writing life, specific deep-dives into issues of representation, and explicit attempts to blow your mind!
We have two titles by best-selling author Jeff VanderMeer, from the days before he was a best-seller. Booklife details not just writing, but career strategy, five-year plans and more...the strategy clearly worked. Monstrous Creatures is an examination of monsters both supernatural and human, fantastical and all too real.
Fxxk Writing and Starve Better are straightforward collections of inspiration, specifics, complaints, and warnings for the curious. The late Kit Reed's seminal Story First examines every element of fiction in a way that is both entirely practical and imminently personal, to empower you to write the stories that only you can write.
Yours to Tell by Steve Rasnic Tem and Melanie Tem is a charming duet of sorts between two writers and partners exploring every facet of the writing life. Writing the Other by Nisi Shawl and Cynthia Ward offers another sort of dialogue—one for people looking to write about characters that are different from themselves in a thoughtful and accurate way.
Kate Wilhelm's Storyteller combines professional reminiscences with notes from the venerable Clarion Writers Workshop, which produces many of science fiction and fantasy's most beloved authors. To Each Their Darkness by Gary A. Braunbeck is as singular an examination of writing, but Braunbeck goes it alone.
Lance Olsen's Architectures of Possibility comes from the innovative/experimental stream of contemporary fiction, but its beyond-the-basics questioning of every axiom will be of vital help to a writer of any stripe. And then there is The Heart of the Original by Steve Aylett, which, to put it bluntly, will rewire your mind if you let it, and you should let it.
