Writing practices for dedicated writers

Happy mid-June, Reader.

As we approach the solstice, I bring you a few things to brighten your day in uncertain times:

• An almost-free audiobook
• A give-away book
• Encouragement to branch out

Let's dive in.

The Writer's Process audiobook for 99 cents

Did you know there's an audiobook of The Writer's Process, my best-known book? I'm basically giving it away for the next few weeks on a service called Chirp (for listeners in the US and Canada).

If you don't already know it, Chirp is a discount audiobook site with no subscription or membership needed. I use it to load up on audiobooks before road trips! (Trying to avoid buying completely into the Amazon ecosystem!)

Want my voice in your ear, offering writing advice? Buy it now, listen whenever you want!

The June book drawing: Dear Reader by Maggie Smith

(Not the Dowager Duchess, the other Maggie Smith)

Maggie Smith is an amazing poet—and her new book will inspire you to write a few poems yourself. A book about the creative life, it's steeped in poetry, and entirely lovely.

I've got an autographed copy just waiting for someone on this list.

To enter the drawing, reply to this email by Sunday, June 22 and let me know what genres you write in (and if you want to try something new).

Is it time to write something new?

Hearing Maggie talk at the local bookshop inspired this week's post. I hope it inspires you.

Sharing wins

Michael Hurben's new book The Physics of Birds and Birding is now out from Pelagic Press. This book is a fascinating, science-rich exploration of birding from the perspective of a blind physicist. Michael is a client, and I'm thrilled to see his work in the world!

If you have a win worth sharing, send it to me.

That's all for now. Happy writing!

Anne
