In Write Here Write Now, AA Patawaran offers profound and practical tips on the craft, from construction and punctuation to sentence length and variety, even how to tackle the blank page. But more than a how-to manual, this is a writer’s memoir. Blurring the distinction between instruction and inspiration, he boldly takes you along his adventures and misadventures in the publishing world.
Published by National Book Store, WHWN is mostly
inspirational, part instructional, and a kind of memoir. In it, AA shares with
all writers—aspiring and established, amateurs and professionals—profound and
practical tips on the craft of writing, from construction and punctuation to
sentence length and variety, from rhythm and cadence to idioms and figures of
speech, even how to tackle the blank page. Blurring the distinction between
instruction and inspiration, he boldly takes you along his adventures and
misadventures in the publishing world.
AA has been at the helm of a number of
publications, from Lifestyle Asia to Manila Standard’s The Good Life and Manila Bulletin’s Sense&Style,
among others. Recognized by industry insiders as “the man perfect to write this
book,” he is joined by some of the key players in lifestyle media in WHWN and
in his personal campaign to champion the written word. Never has any book on
writing in the Philippines been such a pleasure to read that it makes you want
to “write here write now.”
