Radical Romantic: The High Cost of Being a Writer

By: Gulbraa, David

David Gulbraa decided he would be a writer at the age of eleven and never looked back.

From the former publisher of Radical Romantic magazine and author of Ebenezer Smith, Angel Detective, here is the story of a lifetime spent in the literary trenches, a no-frills portrait of a wordsmith grunt face down in the mud and forever on the outside looking in. Here Gulbraa tells the stories of: The greatest rejection slip he ever receivedThe greatest writing experience of his lifeThe most pages he ever wrote in a single dayHow he met one of his favorite writers before he'd even read himHow he accidentally became a pornographerHow the Ayn Rand Institute saved his lifeHow becoming a born-again runner led to his becoming a born-again writerWhat does it mean to live a literary life? Gulbraa delivers the unvarnished truth about the pitfalls and rewards of devoting yourself to a lifetime of writing.
