Our Writer Summer Reading List is HERE!
Stop Reading Alone!
Last week, a bunch of Stop Writing Alone members got together, nominated books in three different categories and settled on three books for our “assigned” reading this summer. The goal is that we read three books: one book focused directly on craft, one fiction book, and one memoir, over the summer and come together in the Fall to share our reflections on them in live Zoom calls. I have also created a Google Classroom to share reflections throughout the summer as we read. So, without further ado, I give you:
The Stop Writing Alone Summer Reading List 2023 Edition
