When Jill Schary Robinson started to write her first book, her father, Oscar-winning writer and playwright Dore Schary, gave her a deadline three pages a week.
When she moved to London in the early 80s, she had published five books and had a deal for a new one. Then, she had a seizure and lost her memory. Doctors declared she’d never write again. But just like in good stories when you think things are hopeless, Schary Robinson was asked to join the Fulbright Commission and to grant the Raymond Chandler Award every year. At Fulbright-Scholars’ gatherings, she met young writers who were as unsure of themselves as she was.
She remembered how her father had screenwriters over for brunch on weekends, and they’d read their work to each other. She may have forgotten how to write, but she hadn’t forgotten how to cook. So she asked the young Fulbright students to bring over three pages each week, in exchange for dinner.
And thus, the Wimpole Street Writers' group was born. When Jill moved back to Los Angeles from London, 40 writers had been coming to her Wimpole Street home. Jill now has three groups in California and over 100 writers under her wing in Great Britain and the United States. Over twenty of them have been published or had their works produced.
The Wimpole Street Writers An Anthology is a collection of work from some of Jill's writers striking, original voices of America and Britain.
The Wimpole Street Writers An Anthology edition by Jill Schary Robinson Literature Fiction eBooks
I found this book very entertaining. The short stories from various writers were all vastly different, which made it a very quick and enjoyable read. Some stories were funny, some more dramatic, yet all were very unexpected. I felt different after I read this book. Smarter. Nicer. Stronger. Happier. I was looking at the world with a fresh pair of eyes. And I felt better about everything. (And I was happy already). Overall, highly recommend this book for all avid readers.Product details
