INSTANT NATIONAL BESTSELLER
New York Times bestselling author and poet Maggie Smith distills creativity and the craft of writing with a practical guide perfect for fans of Elizabeth Gilbert’s Big Magic and Anne Lamott’s Bird by Bird.
Drawing from her twenty years of teaching experience and her bestselling Substack newsletter, For Dear Life, Maggie Smith breaks down creativity into ten essential elements: attention, wonder, vision, play, surprise, vulnerability, restlessness, tenacity, connection, and hope. Each element is explored through short, inspiring, and craft-focused essays, followed by generative writing prompts. Dear Writer provides tools that artists of all experience levels can apply to their own creative practices and carry with them into all genres and all areas of life.

DEAR WRITER: PEP TALKS & PRACTICAL ADVICE FOR THE CREATIVE LIFE [Hardcover]
Very well-written and highly engaging. The text is easy to understand, and the unique, purple-themed design makes the material effortless and pleasant to read. A truly satisfying presentation.
The prompts are very detailed & go more in depth, giving more tips & ideas as opposed to other prompts that I've seen. Because of that, I feel like it has given me more inspiration & motivation to actually write. It encourages you to change any details of the prompts you want, to blend genres, etc.

Excellent information and guides that I look forward to using. Very helpful with a neurodivergent affirming perspective. I'd recommend this to all autistic people experiencing burnout.
My husband LOVES this! He got it for Christmas, and he is so excited to use it in his campaigns! Really good quality book as well, and it’s the perfect size to take with him and pack for his games
Love the movie so it's nice to finally have a copy of the book. Good quality paper and able to use a highlighter on the pages for my junk journaling with this particular book. Made just like any other paperback, good price for the book💜🖤✨
This book was so good. If you like the fake date trope you’re gonna love this book. It’s such a pleasant book to read especially during the holiday season. It’s super cute and great little romcom book. Highly recommend.
