Why read it?
2 authors picked Fearless Confessions as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I love the way Sue William Silverman has refused to be silenced and has instead encouraged other writers, particularly women writers, to lean into their vulnerability and claim and craft their voices, on and off the page.
This book conveys both big-picture elements of craft, like voice and structure, and also helps readers think about language and metaphor. It provides so many helpful tools and so much encouragement to both beginning and more advanced writers.
From Kate's list on writing and inspiration by kick-ass women writers.
A friendly and accessible guide for anyone wanting to tell their own life story, Fearless Confessions looks at several craft issues in writing – plot, style, voice, point-of-view, metaphor, language – as well as marketing, and ethics. Silverman’s exceptional book offers also provides insight from her own writing journey, useful writing exercises, a helpful discussion of nonfiction sub-genres, and a valuable “Reading List of Contemporary Creative Nonfiction.” A welcoming and supportive text packed with nuggets of pure wisdom.
From Dinty's list on for essayists and memoirists.
