Wholesale Book: Surfacing, a practice book for writers

Surfacing is a practice to exit your creative time with care and give yourself though feedback. This 92-page book of 70 different creative exercises is a great gift for writers and the creatively curious. So much attention is given to how writers get *into* writing. There’s no lack of prompts and urgency for starting the work. But the threshold *out* of writing is just as important and often missed. Surfacing is a way to exit the creative flow, observe where you are with a draft, and leave an opening to come back to the page later. You can use it at the end of drafting, after bursts of free-writing or deep revision sessions, during writing retreats, and everything in between. The book includes: An introduction to the practice, with ways to use it to go deeper with your writing and build momentum. 70 closing practices, each a three- to 10-minute exercise to end your writing time. Tips to create your own closing practices, based on what’s showing up in your writing or how you’d like to experiment as a writer.
