The Literary Ladies’ Guide to the Writing Life presents twelve celebrated women authors and draws on their diaries, letters, memoirs, and interviews to show how they expressed their views on the subjects of importance to every writer – from carving out time to write to conquering their inner demons to developing a “voice” to balancing the demands of family life with the need to write. Nava Atlas provides her own illuminating commentary as well and reveals how the lessons of classic women writers of the past still resonate with women writing today.

This beautifully illustrated book, filled with more than 100 archival images, will inspire anyone who loves to write, no matter where they are on their creative journey. Find out more about the authors whose journeys are detailed in this book, with additional inspiration from other classic women authors on the book’s companion web site.  Learn more about The Literary Ladies’ Guide to the Writing Life on Amazon.com
