03: Sarah Stodola Unveils the Writing Lives of Great Authors

Have you ever wondered how the great novelists approach the craft of writing? This might be of particular interest if you’re a writer of fiction. But even if you don’t write fiction but instead focus on writing non-fiction like me, you might be interested in the lessons that can be learned from the great writers of our time.

This is exactly the topic of a new book by acclaimed journalist Sarah Stodola, Process: The Writing Lives of Great Authors, which was recently released by Amazon Publishing. It’s a look into the techniques, inspirations and daily routines of 18 authors that have captured our imaginations since the turn of the 20th century, including Kafka, Hemingway, Virginia Woolf, David Foster Wallace, Toni Morrison, Margaret Atwood and more.

Sarah contributes to publications such as The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Condé Nast Traveler and Slate, among others. She’s also the editorial director of Brooklyn-based Strolby, an online place for discovering and shopping the world’s best brick-and-mortar shops.
