The Great Gatsby / Tender is the Night by F. With that politically correct public service announcement out of the way, let’s dive into some great books that every single writer should read. These just happen to be the people who I resonate with, who I’ve read in my life, and who jump out at me as great examples of different aspects of writing. If you are listening to this and you are an Aboriginal person or you are a gay man or you are a woman for whom English is not your first language, by all means, create your own list of your favorite examples of different aspects of the writer’s craft. All of my book choices are going to be biased by that position of privilege that I’m coming from. I’m a left-leaning, white, heterosexual, Canadian, male with a masters degree in English literature. I like what I like, but I will acknowledge my biases. I will warn you, most of the authors I have chosen are white, heterosexual, American men. Alright? From the hundreds and hundreds of books I’ve read in my life, these were the books that came to mind as great examples, the best examples in different aspects of the craft of novel writing. This is a podcast episode about writer’s craft. Each of these books is going to demonstrate a different aspect of a writer’s craft that I think is really important.īefore we get into that, I do want to say this is not a conversation about overturning the cannon of traditional English literature.
We are going to talk about 13 different books that I think every writer should read. That’s what we are going to get into in today’s podcast. I thought that was such a great question! He said, “Kevin, if I did want to start exploring English fiction, what would be some great books I could read that could help me understand writing better?” He’s writing a nonfiction self-help book. He’s always been very interested in non-fiction. He’s really been focusing on his English writing for the last ten years. Reza grew up in Iran and came to Canada, where I live ten, years ago. This episode is going to address a very specific question that Reza asked. I can’t wait to work with you to get your books written. Peter if you are listening to this, and Attila - welcome aboard guys. I have a couple other one-on-one clients who have come on board as of late. Thank you so much for asking such a great question. Reza, you are probably listening to this. I decided I was going to answer him in podcast format. One of my clients asked me a really great question. This is going to be another one of them because of one of my one-on-one coaching clients … I’m a writing coach guys. Normally, I interview someone else, but every once in a while, like actually the last few episodes, it’s just me. Dig into those archives and check out some of those older episodes.
Everyone you want to hear me chat with, I chat with. Tons of great interviews in there with people like Jeff Goins. Everyone in the world of helping authors. It’s probably episode 59 or 60 or something, which means if you enjoy this episode there’s another 58, 59 episodes out there that you can go check out where I chat with all sorts of amazing people. This is episode … oh boy, I always forget to check before we start recording. If this is your first time listening to the podcast, welcome.
