Samenvatting:

." . . just what you need. . .if it's genuinely useful information you're looking for, from people who, like you, are trying to keep body and soul and writing together" -The Huffington Post "Yes, writers, there is life after the MFA. Eight or nine years before I found an agent and a publisher, I found a writers' group. My literary success has been partly about luck but mostly about persistence, humility, a commitment to solitude, and active and ongoing participation in a community of writers. Now What? is an effective primer crafted by a writing community on how to build your own writing community, and other fundamental elements of success as a writer." -Wally Lamb, New York Times bestselling author of The Hour I First Believed and I Know This Much Is True.
