Sometimes setting pen to paper requires bravery, and writing well means breaking free of the rules
learned in school. Liberating and emboldening the beginning writer are the goals of Ted Kooser and
Steve Cox in this spirited book of practical wisdom that brings to bear decades of invaluable
experience in writing, teaching, editing, and publishing.

Unlike .how to write. books that dwell on the angst and the agony of the trade, Writing Brave and
Free is upbeat and accessible. The focus here is the work itself: how to get started and how to
keep going, and never is heard a discouraging word such as .no,. .not,. or .never.. Because of the
wealth of their experience, the authors can offer the sort of practical publishing advice that
novices need and yet rarely find. Organized in brief, user-friendly chapters.on everything from
sensory details to a work environment, from creating suspense to revising and taking criticism.the
book allows aspiring (and practicing) writers to dip in anywhere and find something of value.
