You: The Story : A Writer's Guide to Craft Through Memory Hardback
by Ruta Sepetys
Hardback
Description
Life is story in motion. Each day, you add to your story, revise it, and view it from a different angle.
You erase things. Tear pages out. And sometimes, in hindsight, wish you could put them back.
A day is a story. A year is a story. A life is a story. You are a story. #1 New York Times bestselling author Ruta Sepetys is known for creating vivid characters and harrowing plots.
After five award-winning works of historical fiction and countless hours of meticulous research, she can affirm that the secret to strong writing is embedded within your life experience. You: The Story is a powerful how-to book for aspiring writers that encourages you to look inward and excavate your own memories in order to discover the authentic voices and compelling details that are waiting to be put on the page.
Masterfully weaving in humorous and heartfelt stories from her own life that illustrate an aspect of the craft of writing (such as plot, character development, or dialogue), Sepetys then inspires readers with a series of writing prompts and exercises. Perfect for fans of Burn After Writing and Bird by Bird, You: The Story awakens the emerging writer and reveals that with some reflection, curiosity, and courage, you have a story to tell.
