Hemingways' Attic: Surviving as a Writer

A survival guide for writers from bestselling novelist William Elliot Hazelgrove. The novelist in Ernest Hemingways' attic gives his philosophy and tips for surviving as a writer in America. "Getting your first novel published is one thing, but there are no classes for how to survive as a writer. Publishing does not offer much, but the school of hard knocks. Writers mostly keep to themselves and flame out or end up in some gutter without telling anyone of their journey. There are lots of books on how to get published and make a bestseller and how to sell books. But to survive as a writer in a society that doesn't recognize writing as a viable way of life is very tricky. Most will not undertake it. Many will wait until retirement and then write their self-published novel after a creative writing class. It is all very safe and not who this book is for. This book is for the writer or the author who must survive.
