Writing's a long game (well, that's my experience as I continue the search for an agent for my novel), and Nicholas Delbanco's an excellent guide for explaining some of the reasons why.
He’s been there for me as a colleague and mentor … and now, in his recent book, he can be a colleague and mentor to other writers as well. I recently wrote about this book and why I appreciate it so much in the digital pages of the Los Angeles Review of Books.

If you're in a similar position as myself, I hope that my piece -- and the book that inspired it -- resonate for you in a way that's helpful.
Ever onward, my friends. If writing is your passion, as it is mine, don’t give up.
