About this ebook

Tap into your inner writer with this book of practical advice by the bestselling author of How Writers Work and the ALA Notable Book Fig Pudding.

Writers are just like everyone else—except for one big difference. Most people go through life experiencing daily thoughts and feelings, noticing and observing the world around them. But writers record these thoughts and observations. They react. And they need a special place to record those reactions.

Perfect for classrooms, A Writer’s Notebook gives budding writers a place to keep track of all the little things they notice every day. Young writers will love these useful tips for how to use notes and jottings to create stories and poems of their own.

I now have my own writer's notebook, and I used most of the ideas in it from this amazing book. There are some things that didn't appeal to me that much, but hey! No one likes everything! Overall, this is a valuable book for any writer since it will give you a valuable tool as a writer.

This is such a great book for young writers. Ralph Fletcher is a great writer and a very kind man. He has taught me to go for my dreams because I am a great writer and have a chance to be even greater if I pursue my dream.
