The Word: Black Writers Talk About the Transformative Power of Reading and Writing by Marita Golden

5.0

Absolutely one of the best inspirational books about writers that I've read. My TBR list grew by about 15 books while reading this. Reading and writing have always been the biggest part of my life so to read that it was the biggest part of these writers' lives made me feel like I found my tribe. I read this book in one sitting, alone in my bed, but I didn't feel alone at all. It's like I was at a writer's conference sitting in on an informal panel discussion talking about this writing life.

Amazing read. I know I'll be reading this one over and over again. Whether or not you read or write, you want to read this book.
