Writing as a Second Language

Award-winning author and popular storyteller Donald Davis argues that we must step back into our familiar first language the spoken word as our creative medium and learn to translate into that new foreign language called writing. With enough practice, writing will eventually become a second language instead of a foreign language. In this book, he lays out the method he has used successfully in countless residencies at schools across the United States, working with adults, teens, children, and teachers to help them develop their personal writing style.
