Writers to Watch Out For

For me, reading is where writing starts. These are writers whose books make me jump out of bed in the morning shouting, "Yes! Another day of reading!" Some of them are or have become real-life friends, others are just playmates in my mind. Some get missed off the list, like Anne Carson, Greg Scofield, and Adania Shibli, because they don't have personal websites. All of them are brilliant.
