Books to Give Writers, 2020

How to Encourage, Motivate, or Support the Writers on your List

2020 has been a strange year. Some of us need motivation, others need comfort and encouragement.

No matter what the people in your list need, I’ve got you covered.

Every year I do a round-up post of books I’ve reviewed or encountered in the year that would make wonderful gifts for writers. The list this year is sorted by the book’s “vibe”-encouragement or self-care. (Clearly many books do both, so take the division with a grain of salt.)

I hope you find ideas for the writers in your life, and possibly yourself.

You can find all of these books on Amazon. If you want to purchase or gift the physical books, head on over to this list on BookShop, which is an alternative to Amazon that benefits indie bookstores and publishers.

Books to Encourage Writers

Perhaps someone in your life needs a little motivation to do the writing or to know that they can make a difference. Perhaps that person is you. These books may help.
