Letters to a Young Writer: Some Practical and Philosophical Advice by Colum McCann
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Inspired by Rainer Maria Rilke’s ‘Letters to a Young Poet’, McCann’s book contains lots of really helpful little gems for the young (and not so young) writer. The prose is fresh, honest and pleasantly surprising, and refreshingly free of tired old cliches like ‘show don’t tell’. Covers all the aspects of being a writer, from seeking inspiration to dealing with frustration and failure, finding an agent, not finding an agent, etc, etc.

Lovers of Philosophy 
Loved the tips and advice. The best piece of an author’s time is spent in reading, to compose; a man will give a large portion of a library to make one book.Please visit my blog on Tips for Writing an Epic Travelogue
Hope this will help.
