“My Writing Year is my favorite of all of Joseph Sutton’s books because it is about the creative process, which is near and dear to my heart. I often found myself substituting the word Artist for Writer and it translated brilliantly. His book is so valuable that it will help ‘artists’ of any medium.” —Heidi Hornberger, sculptor.

“Joseph Sutton has a lot to say about writing in My Writing Year. I particularly liked his emphasis on actually writing—getting words down as a pathway to clarifying thoughts. So many would-be writers wait for a thunderbolt or talk about writing but don’t actually write.” —David Perlstein, author of Slick!

“Joseph Sutton’s My Writing Year is perfect for every aspiring writer out there. He has so much to say about writing and persevering at writing. Of all the books Sutton has written, I consider this one his best.” —John Rothmann, KGO-AM radio talk show host.

“Joseph Sutton is a man in love with WRITING. He gifts the reader with 52 inspirational essays why writers are the luckiest people in the world. I read My Writing Year in one sitting and finished with a smile on my face. My writing will be the better for it, and so will I.” —Lynn Park, photographer/poet
