A Few Good Books


I'm an avid reader. I read anything I get my hands on, and I've found that I can get ideas related to my work in progress from any kind of genre and topic. I'm currently working on a non-fiction, which, to a certain degree, justifies all the time I spend reading, instead of writing.

This past week, I read several books, three of which I found very useful to writers in general. As I post a blog every Wednesday, this week, I want to share these three books with you:

CREATIVITY, INC.
overcoming the unseen forces that stand in the way of true inspiration
Ed Catmull & Amy Wallace
2014

This book, written by the president of Pixar Animation and Disney Animation based on his experiences, is a gem for leading authorities on business practices who want to help employees achieve more innovation and success than ever before. It's also an excellent read for any individual in any field who wants to destroy the obstacles to creativity.

DAEMON VOICES
on stories and storytelling
Philip Pullman
2017

This book is a collection of entertaining essays on a variety of topics related to storytelling, from writers' responsibilities and choices to authors' power and effect. Any writer should check this out.

THE NON-DESIGNER'S DESIGN BOOK
Robbin Williams
Fourth Edition 2015

This is an excellent source of information for any non-designer. It offers practical advice on everything related to design, from using the principles of contrast, repetition, alignment, and proximity in designing a brochure or a business card to choosing the right type for a book.

I hope you find this information useful.

All the best,

Noosha 💜
