Bylines is a desk calendar created especially for writer''s, those writing professionally and those dreaming of becoming
a writer. As with other desk calendars, this spiral bound book divides the years into week-long segments with space for writing appointments and notes for each particular day. Unlike other desk calendars,
bylines has several unique features all dedicated to aiding professional and hopeful writers. For inspiration, the birthdays of various writers and other notable people are included with each day of the year. Furthermore, sections with information for writers on various topics are located at the back of this book. The most unique portion of this book, however, is that each week features a different writer. These writers range from
famous notable writers who make a full time living writing to less famous writers who write for life but pay their bills by working elsewhere. Each author presents a blurb about his or her writing. Some of these writers recall how they became writers or when they received their call to writing. Others authors share trials and tribulations experienced along their way to achieving their individual writing goals. The tone of these pieces range from humorous to inspiring. Writing is often a very isolating career filled with ample rejection letters and very little peer support. In some small way, Bylines contributes to the well being and optimism of writers by presenting inspiring and humorous stories that push the writer to continue traversing the difficult journey towards his or her writing goals. In this way, Bylines is the perfect way to keep organized while getting a little peer support no matter what the reader''s writing goals.
