The Way of the Fearless Writer is WONDERFUL. This book is a tonic for the soul. All writers should take time to read this. There are many books about writing, but Beth's approach is practical, honest and yet deeply spiritual and caring. We're keeping this book by our bedside. This is more than just a book, it's a way of life. -- Parul Bavishi & Matt Trinetti * co-founders of the London Writers' Salon * In The Way of the Fearless Writer, Beth Kempton uses a Buddhist sensitivity to create a path at the intersection of our inner life, our daily life, and the lifelong practices of opening and listening; all in the service of the deeper expressive journey which, if true to, gives us access to the life below. Walk with Beth on this path and the vow to write will bring your depth to the surface and your voice into the world. -- Mark Nepo * author of Surviving Storms and The Book of Awakening *More details
