Write What Matters: For Yourself, For Others - Paperback

by Tom Romano (Author)

Many want to write. But sometimes they lose heart. They are cowed in the face of so many fine writers of fiction, memoir, poetry, columns, and creative nonfiction. Their confidence wanes. If you want to write, but are hesitant, let Tom Romano lift your confidence. In Write What Matters you will find discussions of writing processes that make sense, demonstrations of effective strategies to try, advice about developing productive habits to get your writing done, and examples of illuminating writing from fearless writers, both professional and novice. Your voice, your vision, your way with words matter. They are tied to your identity. You know that you are more alive when you put words on paper. Accept that you not only want to write. You need to write. Write What Matters will help you learn to dwell in your written words and craft them into writing worth reading by others.

Author Biography

Tom Romano caught the writing bug in seventh grade. He hasn't been able to shake it, and his life has been better for it. He's written five books about teaching writing and a memoir titled Zigzag: A Life of Reading and Writing, Teaching and Learning. A close second to Tom's passion for writing is his passion for teaching others to write, which he has done since 1970. He teaches at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio.
