Cameron's instruction and examples include the details of the writing processes she uses to create her own bestselling books. She makes writing a playful and realistic as well as a reflective event. Anyone jumping into the writing life for the first time and those already living it will discover the art of writing is never the same after reading this book."

RAE'S REVIEW:

Julie Cameron is most well-known for her gorgeous work 'The Artist's Way', but this little book is my favourite. The Right to Write is a series of personal essays about her writing process and how she tends the inner well of her creativity to be productive over the long haul. We get a glimpse into the dramatic weather on her Tuscan ranch, her rhythm of writing, reflecting, and caring for her horses and dogs. Pandemic readers will resonate with the angst of maintaining friendships as an artist working from home.

Cameron's approach to writing is gentle and practical--and I can tell you cultivating the habits she describes in each chapter works. I read this book 20 years, 2 babies, and 4 novels ago and it still profoundly influences my creative habits. I credit Julie Cameron's 'Artist dates' and 'Morning pages' for my own creative well-being and longevity.
