FOR WRITERS

Here's a piece I wrote about my own tips for beginning writers, and here's an interview with The Writer magazine in which we talk about my writing process and some advice for new writers. Janet Burroway's Writing Fiction and Anne Lamott's Bird by Bird are great books on craft, while for advice on the writing life, Stephen King's On Writing and Betsy Lerner's The Forest For the Trees may be helpful. For advice on getting published and on agents, AgentQuery.com is an excellent site—check the "Resources" section at the top for lots of concrete advice.
