Brave on the Page: Oregon Writers on Craft and the Creative Life

This homegrown anthology features meditations on the act of writing by forty-two Oregon authors, including journalists, poets, fiction writers, essayists, memoirists, and travel writers. In interviews and original flash essays, contributors share their thoughts on avoiding distractions, weathering rejection, using real-life dialogue in fiction, and what it takes to have a successful writing career. "What emerges is a tapestry of writers who happen to hail from the same geographic region, sharing wisdom, encouragement, and counsel beyond the boundaries of regional writing." - The Los Angeles Review
