For
over a decade, Sarah Selecky has been running an online writing school
as a compassionate alternative to MFA programs for writers of all genres
who want to write well. Story is a State of Mind is the logical
next step: a gentle guide to help writers strengthen and tap their inner
resources in service of a limitless writing practice.

approach as an instructor is literary and intuitive. Writing exercises
and guided meditations are interwoven with practical advice and
heartfelt encouragement to help writers find a groove, and to build

individual writing problems, Story Is a State of Mind moves
beyond suggesting fixes for individual writing problems to help writers
settle into a mindset that allows them to see possibility and discover
totally new connections in their work--and beyond.
This is a book
that encourages presence, urges us to slow down and get centred, and
