I got to Amy Hempel through Chuck and was absolutely shocked by her aweseomeness. I have read her "HARVEST" for nearly twenty times. It was so fantasitically written.
Another thing that was also brought into my mind is the mysterious Spanbauers' workshop.
I thought such a great craft might have written some textbooks, or somethiing like that. But obviously he didn't.

Is there any book on writting that focus on Minimalism?

Thank you.

jim, let me get to scanning. well, let me look around first. i had a whole lot of hempel techniques printed and bound a few years ago. i should still have that fifty or whatever pages tapebound.

the spanbauer workshop worked for chuck. i think also maybe chelsea cain, and monica drake.

i'll revisit my collected files in the day tomorrow and see what i have for you, maybe a few sites to share with the workshop folks.

thanks for bringing it up

I read somewhere that Tom Sapnbauer was writing a book On Writing, is it out yet?

He definitely should be since he made a lot of awesome people.
But I checked pretty carefully online, and there is none.

Thank you.

This is the prime motivation I checked out Amy Hempel and which gave me a basic idea of minimalism.

But great stuff.
