How To Be A Writer

"Writing for me is the simplest and greatest pleasure in the world." RUSKIN BOND
"Wherever I go, I meet young writers, or young people who want to write, and they are always asking questions. Someone who has survived as a writer for seventy years must have something to offer by way of 'tips' (as one young friend put it) or the lessons learnt from all the ups and downs of a literary journey."
How to Be a Writer is peppered with nuggets of practical advice for every person who is aspiring to write and be published - all told in Ruskin Bond's characteristic understated, tongue-in-cheek, humorous style. 
So, what is it that a person requires the most to become a writer? A love of books, of language, of life, an observant eye and a good memory along with enthusiasm, optimism and persistence. 
This book is an exclusive glimpse into the writing credo of Ruskin Bond, an author who has had an incredibly successful writing career spanning over 70 years.
