Our history is in the social landscape. We have to write about it," says Angela Puryear-McDuffie, who collected tales from people in her Washington, D.C., neighborhood in order to craft a narrative history of the community. Though focused specifically on African American writers, any reader dreaming about becoming an author will find support here. Everyone has a story, and anyone can become an author, according to this encouraging and worthy book." <strong> Kirkus Reviews</strong></p><p>"Inspiring and full of hope for writers everywhere. Most important of all, this book gives us the sense of our need for diversity in stories and the writers that give us those stories. Writing is Essential is both a true statement and a step toward a great future in storytelling." <strong> Kathy Carberry, Goodreads Reviewer</strong></p><p>"First, I loved the interview setup of this book. It was conversational and very inviting. Second, I appreciated the content of the book. I believe it's important to hear people's stories -- this book is a study in the events that shape writers." <strong> DrJReads.blogspot.com</strong></p><p>"This book. I have been writing for almost five years now and I was able to see a whole different perspective on writing in this book. Took some notes, and I will probably have to re-read it as I forgot a lot of things already." <strong> Carolina G., NetGalley Reviewer</strong></p><p>"Una lectura muy inspiradora, mas aun si son escritores o aspiran a serlo. Las entrevistas son muy interesantes y hay que reconocer el buen trabajo de quien compilo y edito este trabajo. Funciona para ser inspirador y animarnos, cuando el animo flojea, y tambi�n para poner un mont�n de cosas en perspectiva. Lo recomiendo." <strong> Rebecca N., NetGalley Reviewer</strong></p><p>"These are the types of conversations that keep me writing even when it seems like sometimes the words escape me. The interviews are personal and draw on early life experiences, the frustrations and challenges writers experience along the way- and as a young black African writer, I am pleased that there's a platform for writers like me even though it's a continent away."<strong> Nilichosoma.wordpress.com/</strong></p><p> </p><br>
