I really enjoyed reading this book. The blurbs from various authors were inspiring and helpful for a novice writer or anyone contemplating writing! And this would make a great gift for the new writer in your life!

This is a simple book on writing anecdotes from well known authors. I found my favorites: Zora Neale Hurston and Gabriel Garcia Marquez. There were short quotes and longer quotes (or statements, rather) peppered between drawings. I appreciated the lovely way it was presented in the ebook. However, there was a lot of space left on several of the pages, so I don't know if I was missing something. This book can be used as a daily affirmation to encourage and uplift the writer as inspiration to write or pull you out of to doldrums when you're severely blocked.
Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read this book.

I would like to thank Netgalley and Quarto Publishing Group for letting me read this book in return for an honest review.

Although I was somewhat surprised at the layout and structure of the book I found it addictive reading. I couldn’t put it down and thoroughly enjoyed the comments from the diverse selection of authors.
