Joan Lowery Nixon - Making Of A Writer [Kindle azw3] (Size: 1.93 MB)
DescriptionJoan Lowery Nixon - Making Of A Writer  Nixon narrates the story of her life from the time she was a baby living in a white stucco duplex that her family shared with her grandparents until she became a journalism major at the University of Southern California and sold her first piece of writing. As the narrative moves forward in chronological fashion, Nixon whispers in the ear of readers all of the important tricks of the trade that she has learned: "Read!- Write what you know- Show, don't tell- Put yourself in other people's shoes," and so forth. Most chapters are organized around one of her writing lessons. The book contains a great deal of dialogue that makes it a lively read, but these clearly imaginary interchanges do compromise the book's status as a work of nonfiction.
