Media Reviews
Superb writing advice . . . hilarious, helpful and provocative * * New York Times Book Review * *
A warm, generous and hilarious guide through the writer's world and its treacherous swamps * * Los Angeles Times * *
[A] classic of the genre * * Guardian * *
My go-to gift or recommendation for anyone interested in writing, though it is as much a treatise on life as it is a creative-writing primer -- MATT HAIG
A generous and funny guide to writing and life -- BONNIE GARMUS * * Guardian * *
Bird by Bird by Anne Lamott is a classic for a reason. A warm and honest look at the real work of writing, funny and realistic and also encouraging. I always return to it -- SOPHIE MACKINTOSH * * NZ Herald * *
A treasure trove of insight both practical and profound, timelessly revisitable and yielding deeper resonance each time * * Brain Pickings * *
Deftly and honestly explores the mental challenges of being a writer, and Lamott's advice is, simply put, invaluable * * Bustle * *
Praise for Almost Everything: Anne Lamott is a cause for celebration. [Her] real genius lies in capturing the ineffable, describing not perfect moments, but imperfect ones . . . perfectly. She is nothing short of miraculous * * New Yorker * *
I keep learning a lot from the clear and great Annie Lamott. I think you will, too -- GLORIA STEINEM
