Book: Chapter After Chapter: Discover the dedication and focus you need to write the book of your dreams by Heather Sellers
Book in a sentence: A great writing book for anyone who isn't quite an amateur anymore, but isn't exactly where they want to be as a writer.
The best thing about this book: Sellers prose is so approachable and easy-to-read. She makes you feel like she's a friend who is discussing your writing with you. I especially appreciated the chapter on slowing down. Sometimes I feel so much pressure to get things done NOW, that I forget to slow down and enjoy the journey. Slow down and focus on the things that are important. Just slow down. A must-read for any writer, especially if you're stuck in a funk.
Happy reading!

September Book #5
Book: Page After Page: Discover the Confidence and Passion You Need to Start Writing and Keep Writing (No Matter What) by Heather Sellers
Age-range: 16 and up
Recommended: Yes
This is a book I got from the library, but I would definitely buy it (and probably will if I ever see it when I'm shopping). It's filled to the brim with good advice for writers of any level. Even if you're a pro it's full of lots of great, refreshing advice and anecdotes.
There are also prompts at the end of every chapter. I don't know how good they are because I never do prompts in writing books. I don't like most of them. I should probably try them sometime, but I didn't do it for this book so I can't speak for that part of it.
Sellers has a great voice and a good ability to relate to the beginning writer. If you're a writer, or thinking about writing, this is a good book to read.
