January I love your patience with people who still ask, "How can I get published?" Even though your book and experience clearly show us that the greatest part of writing is in the actual writing, not the supposed "pay off". I love your honesty. I love your book. You've taught me so much. Thank you.

Michael Cahill Your wise, practical book has reignited my faith in myself as a writer. I’ve been truly struggling with the structure of a story for over a year now and, inspired by “Bird by Bird”, I’m more hopeful that the solution may not be as distant as I thought. Thank you for your fine wit and delightful direction.
