Now What?: The Creative Writer’s Guide to Success After the MFA by Ashley C. Andersen Zantop
“. . . just what you need. . .if it’s genuinely useful information you’re looking
for, from people who, like you, are trying to keep body and soul and
writing together”—The Huffington Post
“Packed with practical advice. . . good information and
inspiration in one convenient package. . . a clear-eyed view of the business
of writing and the tough challenges
of post-MFA life.”—The Writer
“Yes, writers, there is life after the MFA. Eight or nine years before I found an agent and a publisher, I found a writers’ group. My literary success has been partly about luck but mostly about persistence, humility, a commitment to solitude, and active and ongoing participation in a community of writers. ‘Now What?’ is an effective primer crafted by a writing community on how to build your own writing community, and other fundamental elements of success as a writer.”
—Wally Lamb, New York Times bestselling author of ‘The Hour I First Believed’ and ‘I Know This Much Is True.’
