Living the Life of a Writer

In Living the Life of a Writer, Vincent shifts the focus of writing instruction from the writing to the writer. Her intuitive, inquiry-based approach to writing guides you, and your students, through six habits of a writer. This is the guidebook every writing teacher needs to turn writing instruction into a writing lifestyle.
