Book: The Virginia Woolf Writer's Workshop: Seven Lessons to Inspire Great Writing by Danell Jones
Age-range: 13 and up
As good as the first time?: Yes
Recommended: Yes
I first read this book a couple of years ago and instantly wanted to buy it. Here I am, reading it for the second time as a library book. This is a book that condenses all of the advice Virginia Woolf offered in her amazing career (cut short by her suicide). The set-up of the book can be a bit distracting at first, but once you get used to it you can breeze right through. The advice, writing prompts, and "sparks" at the end are great, inspiring, and fun. Most people think of Virginia Woolf as depressed and depressing when in fact she had a wry sense of humor that's apparent in almost everything she wrote. This book has a lot of humor, but really kicked me in the butt to get working.
If you're a writer, or a fan of Ms. Woolf, go and get this book.
