Alice Hoffman. Banana Yoshimoto. Gabriel Garcia Marquez. Anita Shreve.
Most writers entertain.
These four writers do more than just entertain. They inspire you to relish the possibilities of the written word, of being a writer yourself. They make you reaffirm your unwavering love for fiction with every chapter, sentence, or word. With every novel they have written, these four have made me realize that I can find solace in stories and magic in the mundane.

Hi Meream — just a quick note to say A) you have awesome taste in books and b) if you like Anita Shreve, you may like my debut novel STANDING STILL. (Critics compared it to The Pilot’s Wife.) Obviously I still have a lot to learn, but debut novelists really rely on people like you who appreciate good writing. Thanks — Kelly bykellysimmons.com
