Creative Writing: Inspiration

Creative writing includes poetry and verse, novels, short stories, novellas, and memoirs which draw on one's imaginative processes to express meaning via imagery and narrative, contrasting with nonfictional types of writing.

 

 

A reader lives a thousand lifetimes through books. A book may stay with you all your life. Choose the wondrous and unique reads to guide you through life with mystery and awe! Read from your heart and not only because a good book is a precious companion through tough times: it is also a fantastic example for an aspiring author of how to do it right.

So take a pick, find out if any Anatolia Library has it, and request it from the Library Hub.

For any further questions ask your Librarian. You may also suggest books you believe are missing from the Library's catalog.

Find the suggestion box next to the Library Hub and place your suggestion there or fill out the online form.
