MURDER YOUR DARLINGS
Carefully curated by influential writing teacher and author Roy Peter Clark, MURDER YOUR DARLINGS brings together the best writing advice from the best writers of all time.
Clark, who for more than 30 years has been a beloved and revered writing teacher to children and Pulitzer prize-winners alike, has compiled a remarkable collection of 75 of the best writing tips from 75 of the best writing books. Writers included range from Aristotle and Horace to Stephen King, Tom Wolfe, Ursula K. Le Guin, Gay Talese, Kurt Vonnegut, Mary Carr, and S.I. Hayakawa.
With a chapter devoted to each piece of advice, Clark expands and contextualizes the original author's suggestions, and offers anecdotes about how each one helped him or other writers sharpen their skills. An invaluable resource for scribblers of all kinds, Murder Your Darlings is an inspiring and edifying ode to the craft of writing.
