Miami Author Dana De Greff's New Book Is Tailored for Fellow Writers
A lovely article about my book Words and Wonder, writing, inspiration, and more was published in the Miami New Times. It’s always a gift to get support from the media, and below is an excerpt:
The former New Times contributor is gearing up to self-publish her first nonfiction work, Words and Wonder: A Guide to Becoming a Creative Writer. The 104-page book contains essays and prompts aimed at novice and established writers alike.
“I struggled so much when I was a beginner writer,” De Greff tells New Times. “I didn’t know what I was doing, and even though I read a ton of craft books, took a ton of creative writing workshops, and studied creative writing for many years, I still had so many moments where I felt lost and alone.”
Words and Wonder is De Greff sorting through her own experiences as a writer to inspire those who might find themselves in similar situations or stuck inspirationally. She initially had the idea for the book in 2020 when she realized she had a plethora of material on the subject of writing leftover from the various workshops and classes she teaches.
