I recently reread two books by Lurie — Foreign Affairs and The Last Resort and was reminded what a stellar writer and storyteller she was. 

In the course of her career, she won T

Quotes by Nava Atlas  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“You'll be amazed how much you have in common with Edith Wharton (who struggled to feel worthy of success), Louisa May Alcott (who badly needed money), Madaleine L'Engle (who could have papered an entire house with her rejection letters) and other writers...”
― Nava Atlas, The Literary Ladies' Guide to the Writing Life

“The dilemma for women who love to write may not have so much to do with finding the elusive literary voice, as with being reluctant to use the one that's already lurking inside, just waiting for the chance to speak up. Many of us, especiall,y those from the generations taught to be good, accommodating girls, are afraid of sounding too strong, too loud, too unconventional, or simply too much like the self we're afraid to reveal to the world. Most of us have at least an inkling of what form our writing voice should take, if only we might find the courage to reveal it.”
― Nava Atlas, The Literary Ladies' Guide to the Writing Life
