What Makes It Uncommon

Storied Spaces

If writers face one question as often as “Where do you get your ideas?” it’s “Where do you write?” The answer: just about everywhere. This fascinating book takes you around the world to visit the places where 50 renowned scribes did their thing. You’ll find James Baldwin writing into the wee hours in his Paris apartment, the Brontë sisters sharing story ideas around the dining table, and Virginia Woolf’s all-important room of her own. You’ll also discover the routines and rituals that authors relied upon to jump-start inspiration—and motivation. Lavishly illustrated with watercolors that make each space come alive, this giftable volume is a treasure trove of insight into some of our best-loved authors and the craft of writing itself. Printed in China.

I Would Buy This Product For Many Writers In My Family

This little book is lovelier than I expected. I had a wonderful time browsing through it to find stories about some of my favorite authors before giving it to my friend. My friend who recently wrote her own life stories to give to her grandchildren loved her birthday present. We both enjoyed the watercolor paintings that accompany each story. I was thanked many times for such an unusual purchase.


LOVE LOVE LOVEEEE

I got this as a gift for someone and loved it so much I bought myself a copy!!! Wonderful, inspiring, with interesting facts about famous writers alongside beautiful watercolors. Would HIGHLY recommend. One book I ordered did come damaged but I received a refund for it. The book itself i loved.
