In his book On Writing, Stephen King wrote, “If you want to be a writer, you must do two things above all others: read a lot and write a lot. There’s no way around these two things that I’m aware of, no shortcut.”
We couldn’t agree more. That’s why we’re excited for our Audible Giveaway. One lucky writer will win a $100 gift card to find amazing books to listen to on Audible.
Or, read on to get all the details.
The Magic of Audiobooks
You know that if you want to write well, you need to read a ton. Maybe you even have a reading list of all the books you plan to tackle this year.
But sometimes it can be hard to find time to read. Life gets in the way, days and weeks pass, and you realize you haven’t made any progress on the stack of books waiting on your bedside table.
(No? Just me, then? Darn.)
That’s where audiobooks come in. They fit into the nooks and crannies of life. It’s easy to play an audiobook while you’re driving to work, or doing the dishes, or going on a run.
Plus, an excellent narrator adds a whole new layer to the storytelling. When you’re listening to Ready Player One narrated by Wil Wheaton or Harry Potter narrated by Stephen Fry, you might even enjoy getting stuck in traffic.
