In Praise of the Ugly Man-Sweater: Thoughts about writing, books, and the people who read them (English Edition)

IN PRAISE OF THE UGLY MAN-SWEATER is a collection of humorous essays about my life as a writer and general all-round book nerd. In these pages you will read about fast-drafting novels, the importance of a writer's notebook, how to stay sane as you revise your manuscript, computer malfunctions, working in a bookstore, eavesdropping on teenagers, food that inspires, and yes, the importance of the Ugly Man-Sweater.

Some of the stories may be inspiring. Others, not so much. But all of them are true.

Fellow wordsmiths? We are all in this together. Write on!
