Description: Writers rarely share their unedited journals with others. On these most private of pages - or on odd scraps of paper - they jot down bits and pieces of their lives and thoughts. This unique anthology presents excerpts from the journals of forty of today's most noted writers, and editor Sheila Bender asked the authors to comment on the role of journal-keeping in creating their art.

As a guide to creating a journal of your own, or simply as a riveting collection of never-before-published pieces from our finest contemporary talents. The Writer's Journal is a superb work - a classic on the creative process no serious reader, or writer, should miss.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p. [347]-380).
