Story4.5 out of 5 stars 259
In her memoir You Could Make This Place Beautiful, poet Maggie Smith explores the disintegration of her marriage and her renewed commitment to herself in lyrical vignettes that shine, hard and clear as jewels. The book begins with one woman’s personal, particular heartbreak, but its circles widen into a reckoning with contemporary womanhood, traditional gender roles, and the power dynamics that persist even in many progressive homes.

“Long live the King” hailed Entertainment Weekly upon publication of Stephen King’s On Writing. Part memoir, part master class by one of the bestselling authors of all time, this superb volume is a revealing and practical view of the writer’s craft, comprising the basic tools of the trade every writer must have. King’s advice is grounded in his vivid memories from childhood through his emergence as a writer, from his struggling early career to his widely reported, near-fatal accident in 1999—and how the inextricable link between writing and living spurred his recovery.

Many famed music producers are known for a particular sound that has its day. Rick Rubin is known for something else: creating a space where artists of all different genres and traditions can home in on who they really are and what they really offer. He has made a practice of helping people transcend their self-imposed expectations in order to reconnect with a state of innocence from which the surprising becomes inevitable. Over the years, he has learned that being an artist isn’t about your specific output, it’s about your relationship to the world.

Creative writing is any writing that goes beyond the boundaries of ordinary formal, journalistic, scholarly, or technological types of literature, usually characterized by the emphasis on narrative art, character development, and the use of literary conventions, or the different traditions of prose and poetry. Due to the lack of definition, writing such as feature stories can be considered as creative writing, even though they fall under journalism, because the content of the features focuses specifically on narrative and character development.

Publisher's summary
A guide to writing transformative nonfiction or an inspirational memoir from an author with nearly two decades of experience in the book writing and publishing space.
If you’ve ever thought, “I really want to write a book, but…” this book is for you.
Despite what you may have heard, becoming a successful author isn’t about having 67,973 Instagram followers, reaching “best-selling” status for seven seconds, or having Beyoncé take your book on tour with her (as amazing as that would be!).
It’s about impacting one person so deeply that they can’t help but recommend your book again and again. It’s also about uncovering more of yourself while you tell your story so that your unique light can’t help but shine more brightly upon the world.
This practical, thorough guide to writing and publishing nonfiction and memoir helps you:
- Go from constantly questioning your writing ability, message, and expertise to confidently owning the valuable insights and perspectives you bring to the world
- Remove overthinking when it comes to how a book “should” come together and instead gain absolute clarity in the book-writing process your favorite authors follow
- Remove all confusion around what topics to cover and which stories to tell to ensure your target readers say, "this book is exactly what I need!"
- Understand the six lesser-talked-about steps you really need to consider when writing a truly impactful book
- Discover how writing for emotional impact unexpectedly transforms the lives of you and your readers
- Get completely clear on your book’s core message, your magnetic hook, and how to speak directly to your target readers with understanding, compassion, and a roadmap that clearly lays out their next steps (if you’re writing nonfiction)
- Identify how to powerfully share your story in a way that facilitates perspective-shifting conversations, greater societal awareness, and social change (if you’re writing memoir)
- Create an epic book outline that helps you masterfully organize your thoughts, experiences, and insights into a powerful book that readers can't put down
You don’t need more experience, motivation, or hours in the day to write a book you’re immensely proud of. Once you know what to focus on and how to navigate the avalanche of “but what if…?” that arises along the way, you’ll finally be able to get the damn book written so it can take its rightful place as someone else’s favorite read.

Three short years ago, when Chris Brogan and Julien Smith wrote their best seller, Trust Agents, being interesting and human on the Web was enough to build a significant audience. But now, everybody has a platform. The problem is that most of them are just making noise. In The Impact Equation, Brogan and Smith show that to make people truly care about what you have to say - you need more than just a good idea, trust among your audience, or a certain number of followers.

Three short years ago, when Chris Brogan and Julien Smith wrote their best seller, Trust Agents, being interesting and human on the Web was enough to build a significant audience. But now, everybody has a platform. The problem is that most of them are just making noise. In The Impact Equation, Brogan and Smith show that to make people truly care about what you have to say - you need more than just a good idea, trust among your audience, or a certain number of followers.

Make Noise brings all the wisdom, advice, practical information, and big-picture thinking that any individual or business needs to make a successful podcast. He identifies core principles - such as create empathetically, i.e., think like the audience listens, and stay focused on what’s unique to you and what you have to say. He helps listeners come up with a “Ten Word Description” that will guide them throughout the creative process and then gets into how-tos - how to develop character, story, voice, and more.

Time to get writing again!
This book is a quick and engaging listen, and it answers all of the questions I've thought about at some point in my writing journey. The best thing about the book is that I feel ready to pick up my manuscript that has been resting for two years, and I'm finding myself having sparks of inspiration while listening and jotting down ideas again.
