Summary
'Part memoir, part pep talk, the timely and inspirational guide for listeners and writers alike exudes Anders's colloquial and casual presence.' - AudioFile Magazine

This program is read by the author.

From Charlie Jane Anders, the award-winning author of novels such as All the Birds in the Sky and The City in the Middle of the Night, this is one of the most practical guides to storytelling that you will ever hear.

The world is on fire.
So tell your story.

Things are scary right now. We’re all being swept along by a tidal wave of history, and it’s easy to feel helpless. But we’re not helpless: we have minds, and imaginations, and the ability to visualize other worlds and valiant struggles. And writing can be an act of resistance that reminds us that other futures and other ways of living are possible.

Full of memoir, personal anecdote, and insight about how to flourish during the present emergency, Never Say You Can’t Survive is the perfect manual for creativity in unprecedented times.

I picked this on a recommendation from someone else. I found listening to be incredibly inspiring to return to writing as a hobbyist, with a lot more acknowledgment of LGBTQ topics. There’s a lot of references to contemporary and a few classic examples of writing, easy to consume for folks who have come to adulthood in the twenty-first century. If I have any criticism, I’d point out the recording could use just a little more editing, hearing the author/reader restarting several times. However, I would very strongly recommend this for aspiring writers who might be feeling down by worldly events, regardless of their community.
