Book Lust with Nancy Pearl
Leading authors on life and writingAbout Book Lust with Nancy Pearl
Seattle's own "action figure librarian," best-selling author, and literary critic Nancy Pearl sits down each month with authors, poets, and other literary figures for conversations about books, reading, and the process and art of writing. There's no one better qualified than Nancy, who brings an informed reader's perspective to lively conversation and in-depth dialogs about all things literary.
Nancy Pearl, author of the best-selling "Book Lust" series, creator of the internationally recognized program "If All of Seattle Read the Same Book" (which became "Seattle Reads"), and model for the world-famous Archee McPhee "Librarian Action Figure," is host of Book Lust with Nancy Pearl on the Seattle Channel.
Seattle author and writing teacher Priscilla Long discusses the art and process of writing with host Nancy Pearl. Long's book, "The Writer's Portable Mentor," serves as a guide for writers at all levels looking for help structuring a book, story or essay and scrutinizes the sentence strategies of the masters. She shares why writing every day - even if you don't feel inspired - is important. She delves into the rules of writing, including structure, grammar, and usage. And she explains why beginning a sentence with a conjunction such as and, but or so is OK (despite what Nancy's fourth-grade teacher told the class).
