Looking for the Best Holiday Gifts for Writers?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You may have seen my guest post for the San Francisco Writers Conference on great gifts for writers where several writer friends from the SFWC community and beyond shared the best writerly gifts they\u2019ve ever received.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I got a little carried away with that post. My 500-1000 word maximum turned into over 2,000 words, more of a holiday giving guide for writers than what I’d originally planned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sure, \u201cKill your darlings!\u201d Easy for some people. But I think you\u2019ll want to read the previously expurgated bits \u2014<\/strong> the personalized guide based on finding gifts for your writer friends based on their specific challenges, needs and situation, which I had to cut from the post. I’ve also included fun, inspiring and clever delights I found on Etsy, Pinterest and beyond. So, here we go\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the blog post for the San Francisco Writers Conference, Grant Faulkner, Executive Director of National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) shared how difficult it is for gift givers to find a journal or pen he likes, while Sabrina Ricci and Elisabeth Kauffman loved their gifted notebooks and journals. One man\u2019s ho hum is another writer\u2019s howdy-do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of us writers LOVE a beautiful blank journal or smooth writing pen (Yes, please<\/em>, I say) and others may re-gift your gift. So, when giving a gift to a writer friend, think of his or her specific situation. What does he really, truly need? What might delight her? What could change the course of their writing life?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are some specific writer challenges and appropriate gifts to solve each writer’s problem or meet their goals:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Does your writer friend need the gift of time to write?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
