On By chrisbarsantiIn Books, WritingLeave a comment

As mentioned a few weeks back, I decided it was time to put all these writing tips and quotes into printed form. Fortunately, the good folks at Workman Publishing agreed. That is why as of this week, you can now get your very own copy of The Writer’s Year: 365 Days of Inspiration, Prompts, and Quotes for 2025.

I’ll repeat what you can find inside, cool stuff like:

  • Illuminating quotes from the greats (James Baldwin, Susan Sontag, Ray Bradbury)
  • Prompts to start your story
  • Recommended reading lists
  • Handy tips on everything from cliches (easy but bad) to rewriting (annoying but good)

It’s at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Bookshop, and a lot of other fine stores, like those kiosks that sell calendars at the mall during the holidays.

You may have noticed those ‘Writer’s Desk‘ posts which have been appearing on this site for a few years now. Or not (lot of content out there).

In any case, a little while back I thought it made sense to try and put some of these ideas to paper. Since I’ve been doing some writing for Workman Publishing, innovators of and home to Page-A-Day calendars, I pitched them a concept for a writing inspiration calendar. They liked it and now here we are, with The Writer’s Year: 365 Days of Inspiration, Prompts, and Quotes for 2025 available for pre-order. It comes with:

  • Illuminating quotes from the greats (James Baldwin, Susan Sontag, Ray Bradbury)
  • Prompts to start your story
  • Recommended reading lists
  • Handy tips on everything from cliches (easy but bad) to rewriting (annoying but good)

The Writer’s Year publishes in August. If you place your pre-order now through May 3 and use the discount code (NEWCAL25) you can get 20% off.
