Review: The Happy Writer by Marissa Meyer

An uplifting collection of bite-size strategies for enjoying and succeeding at the writing process. Meyer’s personality and genuine love for writing shines through each of the short 70+ chapters, each of which shares a tip for different stages of the writing/publishing journey. Most offer practical steps to take, whether following curiosity to encourage creativity, addressing obstacles like writer’s block, or querying agents for traditional publication. Recommended particularly for aspiring writers early in the process who could use encouragement or practical ideas to enjoy the writing journey even when things get hard.
