Rethinking Creative Writing: The First Interview!
Wordamour is pleased to announce that today’s blog post is actually over at Erika Dreifus’ blog/newsletter/website Practicing Writing.
It’s fitting that Wordamour’s first interview about the book would appear on this site, as she has admired Dreifus’ work and her site for years and has been admonishing her readers to make it part of their regular reading. It’s a great resource. And her book of stories, Quiet Americans, has been making all kinds of best lists.
Erika asked some wonderfully in-depth questions and Wordamour had a great time answering them. It’s a terrific way to find out more about the book.
So what are you waiting for? Get thee over to Practicing Writing and check it out!
By y’all!

And so it begins. . .
The library edition of Rethinking Creative Writing, actually the ebook being made available to libraries worldwide, is out!
And your library wants to order it, right? Right! Information on ordering is available here.
If you just want to see the link to the e-reader edition on the Sony e-store, that’s here. And for more general information about the book, check here.
Word has been pretty positive so far, so I’m pumped. My friend Erika Dreifus over at one of my favorite writing blogs, Practicing Writing, has read it and sent along kind words. And she wants to interview me about it for Practicing Writing; more on that as it develops. . .
My friend Anna Leahy, who administers the Creative Writing Pedagogy facebook page, was kind enough to put word out there and the response was good! And when I put a link to the book in my own status, the response was truly encouraging. I am lucky to have such friends.
Anthony Haynes, my brilliant editor at Professional and Higher says we’re taking the John the Baptist approach with the book, announcing the e-reader/library edition first, drumming up buzz. Next will be the hardcover.
All in all very exciting stuff. . .with more to come!
Bye for now y’all!
