Charlie Jane Anders · 2021 · 240 pages
WINNER OF THE 2022 HUGO AWARD FOR BEST RELATED WORK
From Charlie Jane Anders, the award-winning author of novels such as All the Birds in the Sky and The City in the Middle of the Night, this is one of the most practical guides to storytelling that you will ever read.
The world is on fire.
So tell your story.
Things are scary right now. We’re all being swept along by a tidal wave of history, and it’s easy to feel helpless. But we’re not helpless: we have minds, and imaginations, and the ability to visualize other worlds and valiant struggles. And writing can be an act of resistance that reminds us that other futures and other ways of living are possible.
Full of memoir, personal anecdote, and insight about how to flourish during the present emergency, Never Say You Can’t Survive is the perfect manual for creativity in unprecedented times.

“I get asked about craft and writing life books all the time, and these were my favorites this year. Never Say You Can’t Survive by @charliejane. I Came All This Way to Meet You by @jamiattenberg. Me and @fran_wilde taught from Survive, and I read Jami’s book just yesterday. ❤️”↗
