Tiberghien invites readers to work through One Year to a Writing Life at their own pace. The "year" metaphor can keep you motivated, delving into one chapter each month, or like me, you can buzz through the book and the generous resources, come up for air, and be a better writer, on the fast track.
For the serious writer, Tiberghien puts a lot of energy into her bibliographies, so don't ignore the fine print. There is one bibliography corresponding to works mentioned in each of the 12 lessons, one by author, and another that's a goldmine of selected anthologies and reviews.
If you enjoy writing but desire to go deeper, and be a better, more thoughtful writer, this guide will truly help you reach your core.
