STEVE ALMOND 101

an event for creative writing students and budding writers

Harvard Book Store and Boston University's CAS Writing Program are excited to host local author STEVE ALMOND as he reads from his new book, This Won't Take but a Minute, Honey, and discusses his unique take on the art and craft of creative writing. This event is particularly geared for creative writing students and beginning writers.

This Won't Take but a Minute, Honey is a quirky resource for budding writers, a sort of freaky Strunk and White. Read through in one direction to find tiny little short stories of a page each. Flip the book over and find mini essays on the psychology and practice of writing. Whichever way you look at it, you're sure to find a nugget of inspiration for your next project.

Since This Won't Take but a Minute, Honey is published on Harvard Book Store's own Espresso Book Machine, audience members will be able to buy their own special editions of the book, including their choice of cover—to be printed up during the reading.
