Writing after retirement with Woolf as muse

Posted in books, Virginia Woolf, tagged Alice Lowe, Woolf as muse, Writing After Retirement on Thursday 2 October 2014| Leave a Comment »

Blogging Woolf contributor Alice Lowe has written a chapter for Writing After Retirement: Tips from Successful Writers, an anthology of short essays on topics that cover the writing basics about getting started, along with tips for specific areas of interest, publishing and marketing, and more.

Alice’s chapter, “A Muse of One’s Own: Finding Inspiration for your Writing Life,” is, of course, focused on Virginia Woolf. It’s Chapter Three in the volume.
