Bird by Bird submitted by halofriendly on July 23, 2011, 9:50pm Bird by Bird was the very first Anne Lamott book I ever read and also the one that solidified me as a huge fan. You don't even have to be a creative writing student or a writer for that matter to enjoy her thoughts on the writing process and how she got to where she is now. Highly recommended, along with all of her other books.

possibly my favorite book ever! submitted by fairytale on August 13, 2011, 2:22pm Possibly my favorite book ever. Ann Lamott is amazing! I've read this book again and again over the years and it is always relevant to me.

A favorite submitted by edwardvielmetti on June 12, 2015, 12:45pm Great book about writing, to be read over and over again.

I'm not a writer. submitted by tbbrown76 on July 4, 2015, 2:48pm Not yet. But this book gives me hope. Not necessarily to get published but to at least get my thoughts down on paper (Google Drive). Well written if a bit crude at times. Well worth a read.

Good stuff in this. submitted by eamcdon on July 23, 2019, 10:50am Lots of good stuff in this. Ideas to work with and explore.

She broke the mold of books about writing submitted by ccrose on August 23, 2019, 11:29am She’s a real person. Frank, funny, achieving that tone of a real person with trusted stories of how writing is woven into day to day life.
