Not sure what to buy your nonfiction group pals or grad school buddies for the holidays? We've got you covered—but be warned, you'll likely want everything on this list for yourself 😉.
I realized I never actually shared my own go-to gift for my writer friends, so I'll do so here… I swear by Jami Attenberg's "1000 Words: A Writer's Guide to Staying Creative, Focused, and Productive All Year Round." I've sent that to two friends this year so far, and it feels like the gift that keeps on giving. Just lots of words of wisdom and encouragement from smart people. Yes, please.
And one of my favorite things that I've been gifted from a writer friend is: "The Art of Slow Writing: Reflections on Time, Craft, and Creativity" by Louise DeSalvo. This book touts the benefits of writing slowly, while teaching the art of patience and deep creative exploration. A gem. Thank you, KA!

Love this! I just ordered something from it as a gift which I won’t specify in case the person reads this.
Love that! Same and same. 😉
Every year I give one friend a year of books! https://substack.com/@rebekahshoaf/note/c-156605569?r=2ztt1n&utm_source=notes-share-action&utm_medium=web
This is incredible! What a wonderful gift. Thanks for sharing.
This is such a creative, thoughtful, lovely gift!!
Thanks! It brings me at least as much joy just putting it together!
