The Right to Write by Julia Cameron

Writing is sensual Julia Cameron evokes, and throughout this book she will show you all the ways. Cameron has over 30 years experience as a novelist, playwright and songwriter. You may best know her for the deeply intuitive and heartening book The Artist’s Way. The book I personally came to see as my jumping point into my quest for a deeper intuitive experience of life.

The Right to Write is described as an invitation and initiation into the writing life. An invitation that delivers an unfaltering belief in everyone’s power of creativity. Cameron is unfazed by the predominant belief that writers are only those with published works. We’re all writers, all storytellers, all creators.

Cameron covers all the stereotypes and falsehoods of how the writer’s life should be executed. She weaves the threads of words that bring purpose, courage and value to our call to write. There is a deep humanity that permeates the practicalities she shares. It’s not a ‘how to’ book, it’s a ‘why you should’ exploration. Beautifully encouraging. Resolute, reassuring, unfaltering in its claim that we all have the right to write.

Big love,
