Most popular quote from A Writer's Year

"Writing, with a fountain pen and ink from a bottle, onto real paper, is the simplest of things. Yet it can transport us to a different place entirely. Imagination is the real magic that exists in this world. Look inwards, to see outwards. And capture it in writing."

Reader testimonials

"Worth it for the first chapter alone. This book cannot fail to motivate the would-be author."

“What Fennel has written is not so much a eulogy for the handwritten letter as a call-to-arms for everyone to follow their dreams and make the most of their God-given talents. This is a genuinely inspiring read.”

“I loved the part: ‘If a pen can communicate our thoughts, dreams and emotions and be the voice of our soul, then writing ink is the medium that carries the message.’ It shows how important and generous writing can be.”

“It really is a life-changing read. A Writer’s Year is excellent and has rekindled my letter-writing youth!”
