Episode 11: Shhh, I'm reading. Why Reading is So Important for a Writer
from Book Writing Tips: Quick Tips for New and Seasoned Authors · host Alba Arango
Not all readers are writers, but all writers are readers. At least, I hope that's true. In this episode, I will get into why reading (in general) is important for a writer, but also why reading in your genre (specifically, the genre you are writing) is a must. I will also go over the importance of craft books, something I feel is beneficial for writers at all stages in their career.Links mentioned in this episode (all are affiliate links)On Writing (Stephen King)Steering the Craft (Ursula K.
