If You Want to Write

en Limba Engleză Hardback – aug 2019
Originally published in 1938, this classic by Brenda Ueland is considered by many to be one of the best books ever written on how to be a writer. Part a lesson on writing and part a philosophy on life, Ueland believed that anyone could be a writer and everyone had something important to say. Heavily influenced by the ideas of William Blake, Ueland outlines 12 points to keep in mind while writing and encourages writers to find their true, authentic selves and write from there. Born in Minneapolis in 1891 to a progressive household, Ueland's father was a lawyer and judge and her mother a suffragette and the first president of the Minnesota League of Women Voters. After graduating from college, Ueland worked as a writer and journalist and became a staunch feminist and an animal right's activist. Drawing upon these experiences, Ueland began teaching writing in 1934 and encouraged both her students and her readers to find their authentic selves and pursue their passion. Modern students of writing will find much to inspire and guide them in these pages. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper.

Notă biografică

Brenda Ueland (1891-1985) was an American writer, journalist, editor, teacher, and advocate for creative independence. She wrote fiction, essays, journalism, memoir, and books on writing, but her lasting reputation rests especially on If You Want to Write, a work that has remained influential among writers, artists, teachers, and readers interested in creativity and the inner life of making art. Graywolf Press notes that Ueland was the author of three books, wrote many articles and short stories, and spent years teaching writing.Ueland's approach to writing was grounded in truthfulness, freedom, close observation, and trust in the creative power of ordinary people. She resisted the idea that art belongs only to the credentialed, polished, or professionally sanctioned. In If You Want to Write, she presents writing as a moral and imaginative practice: a way of paying attention, telling the truth, developing independence, and refusing the deadening effects of fear, vanity, and false authority. For readers of classic writing guides, creativity books, women's literary nonfiction, and spiritually serious self-culture, Ueland remains a direct and invigorating voice.

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:

2011 Reprint of 1938 Edition. Full facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. Ueland published two books during her life. The first was "If You Want to Write," first published in 1938. In this book, she shares her philosophies on writing and life in general. She stresses the idea that "Everyone is talented, original, and has something important to say." Drawing heavily on the work and influence of William Blake, she suggests that writers should "Try to discover your true, honest, un-theoretical self." She sums up her book with 12 points to keep in mind while writing. Carl Sandburg called "If You Want to Write" the best book ever written on how to write.
