Our take on the Resonance: Essays on the Craft and Life of Writing

Resonance is a paperback collection of forty-three personal essays by writers and publishers from across Canada, edited around the craft and working life of writing. It covers pre-writing, drafting and revision, and adds prompts that invite readers to try the ideas themselves. It suits writers of fiction, non-fiction or poetry who want practical craft talk mixed with reflection on the writing life, rather than a single-author how-to manual. Against step-by-step craft guides it offers many voices and short pieces; against pure essay collections it offers the strategies and prompts.

Questions and answers

Is this a how-to writing book or an essay collection?
It is an essay collection first. The forty-three pieces are personal, and craft strategies and prompts are woven in rather than taught as a single step-by-step method.
Does it help with revision, not just drafting?
Yes. The book covers pre-writing, writing and revision, so revision gets its own attention alongside getting words down.
Is it useful for poets, or only prose writers?
It is aimed at writers of fiction, non-fiction and poetry, and the essays address craft and the writing life broadly rather than one genre.
Who contributed the essays?
Writers and publishers from across Canada, which gives a mix of working-author and industry perspectives.
Are there exercises to try?
Yes. Writing prompts invite readers to respond to the essays and put the ideas into practice.
What format is it?
A paperback in English.
Where is the Resonance: Essays on the Craft and Life of Writing cheapest?
At Kobo, for $9.99, as of our latest check.
