On April 9th, I’ll publish “Truth Is the Arrow, Mercy Is the Bow: A DIY Manual for the Construction of Stories,” which Richard Russo calls “one of the best books on writing I’ve ever read, and the funniest by a country mile.”
I’ll be touring in support of the book, reading and teaching like crazy.
Just click here if you want me to zoom into your class or writing group.
Kirkus Review calls Truth “an engaging guidebook to the writing life … always candid and humane, Almond’s book will appeal to writers of all different skill levels seeking insights into the wondrous art of storytelling.”
I’ll be traveling to Seattle & to Portland for events, as well as good old Boston.
I’m teaching a whole bunch of online classes, too. Details here »
Oh, and sometimes I troll Fox News hosts like Laura Ingraham…
