The Writer's Manifesto
Sign in to keep track of books you’ve read and want to read.
This short booklet by Jeff Goins sets out a series of principles for writers who want to treat writing as a serious calling. Rather than focusing on technique alone, it asks authors to commit to their craft, to write regularly, to find and share their own voice, and to keep going through the discouragement that comes with trying to get published. Goins frames the piece as a manifesto, a statement of beliefs and promises that a writer can return to when motivation runs low. It is brief enough to read in a single sitting and is aimed at aspiring writers and working authors alike.
