The Writer
She is the author of 23 novels, 12 volumes of short stories, 11 volumes of poetry, 13 children’s books, five essay collections, and four works of translation — someone to learn from.
I’ve recently had the joy of picking up her book ‘Steering The Craft’, which has an incredible selection of writing tools — language, grammar, voice, tense and all the things missing from the non-traditional route through storytelling.
I’ve also just found this exciting Podcast — Crafting With Ursula, where writers explore the advice on writing that Ursula gave.
