Creative Nonfiction: How to Live It and Write It

Customer Review: written for young people without talking down to them
As a teacher, I think this book is useful in giving kids an accurate picture of the writing life. The author provides professional advice, along with showing the day to day life of a writer’s work. I particularly liked the “readings” section to give students examples to emulate. The reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is that some of the exercises were too vague. As an educator, I know that high school and middle school kids need more step by step explanation.

Dan Poynter is a virtual one-man self-publishing industry. Most of the books I’ve seen by him are more motivtional than educational.
