So Long As You Write

Mehr zum Buch

Why do you write? To record, to discover, to escape, to create? To spend time in another world, or to delve more deeply into your own?Whatever the reason, and however you write, when women put pen to paper, it is a way of sharing our words in a world that often tells us our stories aren’t worth being told.In So Long As You Write, fifteen women writers explore what happens when we give ourselves this space. Whether it’s the joy of opening a new notebook or the thrill of a new idea, or the self-doubt and uncertainty that those things can bring, you’ll find stories about stubborn characters, poems that grapple with the potential of a blank page, and essays celebrating the special connection forged through writing communities.This collection of fiction, non-fiction and poetry also includes advice and encouragement for writers of all kinds. Edited by Kerry Ryan, founder of Write Like a Grrrl and Dear Damsels contributor, and featuring essays from Luan Goldie, Marianne Tatepo, Jane Claire Bradley and Sara Jafari, it is the perfect place to turn for a reminder that it doesn’t matter who is reading it – so long as you write.
