Summary
Offers tips and practical advice for pursuing a career as a writer through a personal review of the different types of work that were published throughout the author's early years that helped shape and form her style of writing as an adult.
Amazon.com description: Product Description: Many of Joan Lowery Nixonâs readers have written to her to ask how they, too, can become published writers someday. This memoir, including anecdotes and advice, is her answer to them. From her first publication at age tenâa poem entitled âSpringtimeâ in a childrenâs magazineâto her graduation from Hollywood High during World War II, Joan Lowery Nixon shares the incidents from her childhood that helped her to grow and develop as a writer. Listening to her favorite serial programs on the radio, performing puppet shows at orphanages and hospitals, and writing love poems for her high school classmates to send to soldiers overseas all planted the seeds from which a prolific professional career was born.
Both informative and entertaining, this is a charming look at one writerâs beginnings.
