4 stars
Sarah Stodola has mined the expanse of author biography to come up with a definitive book about the writing process for different authors through different times. Varying from F. Scott Fitzgerald, Jack Kerouac, David Foster Wallace to Zadie Smith, amongst many more, this book is divided into section on differing work habits. There are writers who treat the process like a 9 to 5 job, those who take their time and those who place themselves inside their stories. I really enjoyed this collection but I have to say that the current writers were the most interesting as so much has already been said about the likes of Hemingway, Fitzgerald and Woolf that this book didn't add much new information. All in all this is a great book for readers and writers alike. I received this from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
