What Sloane Crosley Can Teach You About The Value Of Literary Friendships

A New York Observer profile of publicist-turned 29-year-old writer Sloane Crosley has been kicking up plenty of dust on the interwebs today.

Some people are jealous, some are dismissive, and others are in love--but they are all going to read her new book.

The adoring profile makes one point very well: Like it or not, writing careers depend on your friendships with other writers. You need support and mentorship to make it in this sea of fledgling writers.

While this talented writer put her book together, Crosley befriended published authors like Candace Bushnell and new media leaders Elizabeth Spiers.

If all that cheery essay stresses you out about your own career, maybe you should read this practical post, Beating Burnout Creatively. Thanks to Erika Dreifus for the much-needed advice... 

Finally, I spend a lot of time talking about how videocameras and cameras can compliment your writing. Here's a website that will remind you about everything that is unphotographable. The gorgeous prose will remind you why you write. (Thanks, Bud Parr)

So funny, I live in New York and have been a fan of her stuff for years now and I had no idea she was working on a book. Good for her! I can't wait. And I'm sure the connections didn't hurt either, true.
