There are a lot of books for writers out there. Some of them are about craft. Some tell you how to seek publication. Some are about living a writer's life. This book is different. It doesn't tell you how to be an author. This book assumes you already know that. The essays by nine (mostly YA) authors discuss forks and bumps in the road, and what the author did to solve that problem. Editor Lara Zielin has assembled a broad range of essays. The writers talk about everything from measuring success to writing a second novel to self publishing without ever talking down to the beginning writer. You get the feeling that this is what writers REALLY talk about when they talk to other writers. I'm glad that Ms. Zielin let us listen in on the conversation.
