Book Club for Writers
|
How does the Book Club for Writers differ from other book clubs? For starters, the group doesn’t so much discuss the book as dissect it. Members want to discover what it is about the writing itself that makes the book work or, in some cases, not work. Also, we consider how we can “borrow” the author’s techniques for our own writing. Disagreements abound and are always part of the fun of a good discussion.
Four details to know about book club:
Writing Questions for Discussion We want our discussions to be on writing issues (an unusual structure, perhaps the use of quirky characters, choice of point of view, use of short chapters, dialogue that is fantastic.) Think of potential questions as "Why did the writer…"questions. Why did the writer choose to tell this story from the perspective of a male narrator? Why did the writer have so many characters (was it too many?) |
