The author Anne Lammot tells her students to plug their nose, jump in, and write. She writes about the fears, the slack, the disinterest, the “am I having cancer or mental illness” phase, all phases a writer can go through to keep at writing on his or her desk. After every chapter I took down points in my notebook. Apart from addressing writers, the author in her foreword says the book is a narrative of her take on life. A must read book. 📕 It is very interesting, insightful and filled with practical advice. Review: A must read book for a newbie writer - The author makes you feel like you are accompanied by a friend who is so imperfect as yourself. Navigating through the journey of becoming a writer, the emotional ride that someone goes through as a newbie trapped between the expectation and reality is clearly addressed. Basically this book is for someone who wishes to write yet filled with self doubts and hesitations. Anne comes to rescue you and give a pat on your shoulder to start over. ## Features - Anchor Books ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #6,023 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #5 in Journalism Books #15 in Linguistics (Books) #17 in Writing Guides (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 8,590 Reviews | ## Images ![Bird by Bird: Some Instructions on Writing and Life - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71JEw9Z4ujL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A must read for writers/beginners/diarist *by G***A on 3 October 2025* The book talks to every person and it befriends every writer.

Navigating through the journey of becoming a writer, the emotional ride that someone goes through as a newbie trapped between the expectation and reality is clearly addressed.

It’s full of practical advice, written beautifully with self-deprecating humour. She speaks about everything from getting words on a page to reaching deep within oneself for plots — using memory as a creative device. She also offers valuable insights on dealing with rejection, jealousy, and the art of both giving and receiving feedback. It feels like storytelling around a campfire, disguised as a workshop. It’s not so much technical as it is philosophical — there are other great books on craft, but this one is for the writer’s soul. Best of all, much of Lamott’s wisdom also informs our lives — how we relate to ourselves and to others. It shows us the way to becoming not only better writers, but also kinder humans. ## Frequently Bought Together - Bird by Bird: Some Instructions on Writing and Life - On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft (A Memoir of the Craft (Reissue)) - Writing Down the Bones: Freeing the Writer Within --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.fr/products/76207276-bird-by-bird-some-instructions-on-writing-and-life](https://www.desertcart.fr/products/76207276-bird-by-bird-some-instructions-on-writing-and-life) --- *Product available on Desertcart France* *Store origin: FR* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
