4 stars
I always pick up these books about the art of writing, even though I am not a writer and don't plan on becoming one. Really, I am just a reader who loves books and anything to do with books, even the behind-the-scenes look at creating books. This collection includes essays and interviews with a diverse array of writers about their financial situation, whether or not they have been able to support themselves on writing alone and whether or not that is even advisable. My plans to dip in and out of this book were abandoned as I ended up devouring each essay and interview. I wonder,if I was a writer, would I find these stressful, reassuring or affirming? I'm not sure but I very much enjoyed learning about the truth behind the starving artist cliché. I received this book through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
