This is an I Am A Writer library book

Use it. Pass it on. Pay forward.

Writers are readers. We read fiction and nonfiction, the classics, popular literature, good and bad books, the backs of cereal boxes, each other's work — everything. We devour how-to-write books. But too many of us do nothing with our books after we've read them once. It's hard to give books away and impossible to destroy them. They're treasures, but too often, they just gather dust.

School is never out. We need to share our knowledge — to teach each other — to grow and become better writers. Better writers mean better stories and more readers. As one of us grows, we all do.

The I Am A Writer library aims to fill a need: to get how-to-write books — books on the craft, art and business of writing — to more writers everywhere; to get them off dusty shelves and into the hands of writers who can use them; to share; to pay forward.

If you take this book home with you, obligations follow: 1. Read it — Use it. (Make notes, underline, write in the margins, copy pages--use it.) 2. Share it. When you're done, Pass It On to somebody who will use it to become a better writer. 3. Tell whoever you've passed this book to that he or she has obligations: 1. Read and use it, 2. Pass it on.

(If you enjoy this book enough to want to keep it, don't. Instead, buy a copy. The best compliment you can give writers is to buy their books.)

If you'd like to add to the I Am A Writer library, do. Copy this page, paste it into your book and pass the book on.

Use it. Pass it on. Pay Forward.
