In the fortieth episode of GREAT PODVERSATIONS author Anna Quindlen and writer Amy Bloom discuss Quindlen’s book Write for Your Life.
Anna Quindlen is a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, novelist, and opinion columnist.
In Write for Your Life, Quindlen shows us how anyone can write, and why everyone should. Drawing on her personal experiences not just as a writer but as a mother and daughter, Quindlen makes the case that recording our daily lives in writing is essential.
“Anna Quindlen is America’s Resident Sane Person. She has what Joyce called the common touch, the ability to speak to many people about what’s on their minds before they have the vaguest idea what’s on their minds.”—The New York Times

Her memoir Lots of Candles, Plenty of Cake, published in 2012, was a #1 New York Times bestseller. Quindlen’s book A Short Guide to a Happy Life has sold more than a million copies. While a columnist at The New York Times Quindlen won the Pulitzer Prize for commentary.
