In this lively, perceptive, and encouraging book, Naomi Beth Wakan shares he experience as an older writer, from dealing with ageism to working around a sometimes erratic memory, providing valuable insights to other older writers. Along the way she collects the experiences of twelve other writers, profiling them and their achievements. In addition to Wakan's own writing, "Late Bloomer" contains twelve short interviews, examples of the intervieweeAs writing, and a reference section. This is a wonderful book, written for an older audience that has often been neglected in this genre.
