Practical craft guidance framed by a writer’s own creative questions

Richard Rhodes combines advice on the work of writing with reflections drawn from his own creative life. The book addresses foundational uncertainties behind beginning and sustaining a project: finding the confidence to start, locating an entry point, and shaping a story that feels personally urgent. Personal vignettes about Rhodes’s inspirations give the guidance a memoir element, placing craft questions alongside an account of the experiences that inform his work. It is structured less as a narrowly technical manual than as an exploration of writing’s practical demands and the doubts that often accompany them.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Writers seeking guidance on getting started and developing a story
  • Readers interested in the creative process and literary memoir
  • Aspiring fiction writers looking for craft reflections alongside practical advice

Book overview

Uniquely fusing practical advice on writing with his own insights into the craft, Pulitzer Prize-winning author Richard Rhodes constructs beautiful prose about the issues would-be writers are most afraid to articulate:

  • How do I dare write?
  • Where do I begin?
  • What do I do with this story I have to tell that fills and breaks my heart?

Rich with personal vignettes about Rhode's sources of inspiration, How to Write is also a memoir of one of the most original and celebrated writers of our day.
