A fresh update on a classic, out today 📕
|
Hi Reader! At last, the 10 Year Anniversary Edition of The Writer' Process is published! I am really proud of this update—it takes everything I loved from the first book and makes it stronger. Revising it was a ton of fun. What's new:
What remains constant:
Not sure if you need the new edition? If you're happy with the classic, great! But for the next week, you can get the ebook version (on any ebook platform) for 99 cents or its equivalent in your currency. That's a pretty low-risk way to see if you're interested in the new stuff!
The paperback version is available on Amazon, Bookshop.Org, or on request from your local bookstore! (They can order it.) And for libraries, there's a sturdy hardcover edition. So, you can ask your library to order it. If you do read it, please let me know what you think! I'm so eager to see it out in the world. Here's what the wonderful Roy Peter Clark, author of Writing Tools and Tell It Like It Is, says about it: Sometimes good writing — like tap dancing — can seem like magic, a power available only to those with special gifts. In fact, it's a series of steps, a process available to all. Like a good dance instructor, Anne Janzer shows us the way." Your friend in writing, Anne ps. Want to help me get the word out? If you know someone who would like the book, tell a friend. If you know someone who teaches writing at the college level, send them to the Instructor's Resources. |

A simple test for using AI, and a book about beliefs Hi Reader, This week's post is about writing and AI. If you are in the "never mention writing and AI in the same sentence" camp, I hear you and respect your decision. Skip below the post to the book give-away for April—I think you'll like it. For everyone else, here goes. The AI Transparency Test I have tried to sit on the sidelines, to avoid the AI and writing debates as I firmed up my own opinions. But questions about writing and AI are...
