Graduation gifting season is coming so I thought I'd share a book review post that I wrote about a book that I think would make a fantastic gift for any English or Journalism major.
Anyone that has a passion for writing is also constantly looking for advice on writing. We read books and blogs, and articles on how to better our writing. Sometimes it might seem like we learn about writing more than we actually write, but with each thing that we read, we find some piece of advice that sticks with us.

Chip Scanlan’s book, Writers on Writing, is a book filled with brief interviews with authors and writers in which they share their favorite piece of advice that has stuck with them throughout their careers. It is a fascinating insight into the minds and processes of some of the amazing writers out there. And the interviews are brief, only a couple of pages, which makes it the perfect book to go through slowly with one person a day, or to binge on.
Some of the words of advice they share I have heard before, but many others were new. And I have a few that stuck out as things to try in my own writing.
If you are a writer, or you know a writer, this is a must-have book. And as graduation season approaches, let me help you cross someone off your list by saying that if you have an English major in your world, this is a fantastic book to gift them.
