Writing is more than language and story.
It also involves the creation of self.
Writing is about who we are and who we are becoming.

After taking up writing at the age of thirty, Sue Monk Kidd has created some of the world's most treasured stories. In Writing Creativity and Soul she shares exactly how she did it - from plunging her innermost depths, to voyaging to sacred spaces, to studying the precise methods of the greats and refining her own. Laying her creative journey bare, Sue explores the moments in which she lost her voice and when she found it again, as well as the profound insights she gained along the way.

Part memoir, part philosophical investigation, part advice to aspiring writers, this is a guide to awakening the soul. Everything that readers loved about The Secret Life of Bees is to be found in the pages of Writing Creativity and Soul - the warmth, the fierce intelligence, the wit, the spiritual hunger, the search for beauty and meaning and, perhaps above all, the rebel heart.

Sue Monk Kidd is the beloved bestselling author of The Secret Life of Bees, The Mermaid Chair, The Invention of Wings and The Book of Longings. Her debut novel, The Secret Life of Bees, spent more than one hundred weeks on the New York Times bestseller list, has sold over eight million copies worldwide, was turned into both an award-winning motion picture and a musical, and has been translated into thirty-six languages. She is the author of several acclaimed memoirs, including The Dance of the Dissident Daughter, her groundbreaking work on religion and feminism, as well as the New York Times bestseller Travelling with Pomegranates, written with her daughter, Ann Kidd Taylor. She lives in North Carolina.
