Description

From the mind behind The House of the Spirits, The Wind Knows My Name and My Name is Emilia del Valle comes a guide on writing like no other. In Story Telling, renowned literary talent Isabel Allende delivers a craft-defining treatise on the art of 'magical storytelling'.

You are a writer. This is your purpose.

Allende has been writing for over fifty years, and has sold more than seventy-seven million books. Through writing her twenty-one novels, she has developed unique strategies that have helped her surrender to the process of writing, and create distinct characters and legendary plots in the way that only Allende can. These techniques will help any aspiring writer; and now, they can help you.

In Story Telling, you will discover how to overcome fears of getting started, embrace the mysteries of magic and life in your work, feel the power of your own stories – because how can you expect to move a reader if you, the writer, aren't moved? – and find your unique voice.

If you're a writer – or any kind of creative – seeking guidance and inspiration, this will help you unlock your potential. If your greatest desire in the world is to create, Story Telling will lead the way.
