Dear Mister Essay Writer Guy: Advice and Confessions on Writing, Love, and Cannibals

Dear Mister Essay Writer Guy,
I have a hot crush on the em dash. What does my need to stuffâ€”while simultaneously fracturingâ€”my sentencesâ€”with the meandering, the explanatory, the discursive, the perhaps not-entirely-necessaryâ€”say about me? Â
â€”Cheryl Strayed

Have you ever wished there were an advice columnist for writers, but one who didnâ€™t take things so damned seriously? This unique writing guide pairs questions sent in by top contemporary essayists with hilariously witty answers and essays from acclaimed author Dinty W. Moore. Phillip Lopate asks for advice on writing about your ex without sounding like an ass, Julianna Baggott worries that to be a great writer you must drink like a fish, and Roxane Gay asks whether itâ€™s kosher to write about writing.

Taking advantage of all the tools available to todayâ€™s personal essayistâ€”egregious puns, embarrassing anecdotes,Â and cocktail napkinsâ€”Professor Moore answers these questions, and more, demystifying the world of nonfiction once and for all. With a tip of the hat to historyâ€™s most infamous essayâ€”Montaigneâ€™s â€œOf Cannibalsâ€â€”this book provides rollicking relief for writers in distress.
