MEDIA REVIEWS
Superb writing advice . . . hilarious, helpful and provocative
A warm, generous and hilarious guide through the writer's world and its treacherous swamps
[A] classic of the genre
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
A generous and funny guide to writing and life
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
A treasure trove of insight both practical and profound, timelessly revisitable and yielding deeper resonance each time
Deftly and honestly explores the mental challenges of being a writer, and Lamott's advice is, simply put, invaluable
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
I keep learning a lot from the clear and great Annie Lamott. I think you will, too
