"Whether you're a writer of fiction or essays, or want to explore poetry or memoir, Susan Tiberghien's twelve lessons will help you discover and develop your own distinct voice. Tiberghien's exercises focus on the processes unique to each genre, while also offering skills applicable to any kind of writing, from authentic dialogue to masterful short-shorts. With vivid examples from literary masters such as Rainer Maria Rilke, Eduardo Galeano, May Sarton, Terry Tempest Williams, and Orhan Pamuk, as well as Tiberghien's own work, and that of her students, One Year to a Writing Life is a guidebook of exercises, advice and wisdom for anyone looking to embrace, explore and implement creativity in everyday life."--BOOK JACKET.
