About this listen
2023 International Book Awards Winner & 2023 Firebird Book Awards "Speak Up Talk Radio" Winner
Imagine you're at a dinner party with some of the most successful authors of our time. "Book Mama" and Beautiful Writers Podcast cocreator Linda Sivertsen is the host. As she shares her story of the many hilarious, outrageous, and practical things she did to launch her bestselling writing career, your favorite writers chime in with their own anecdotes, leaving you enlightened and newly inspired. The wisdom in this book will nourish anyone who appreciates the art of storytelling and dreams of living a creative life.
Beautiful Writers is a love letter to reading, writing, and everyone who reads and writes. It's the book Linda wished she had when she was starting out. In it, she shares-and expands on-the best of advice and storytelling from her podcast and follow-up interviews with literary greats, including Terry McMillan, Cheryl Strayed, Tom Hanks, Van Jones, Jenny Lawson, Steven Pressfield, Elizabeth Gilbert, Anne Lamott, Mary Karr, Seth Godin, Abby Wambach, Martha Beck, Marie Forleo, Lee Child, Patricia Cornwell, Dean Koontz, Maria Shriver, Dr. Jane Goodall, Sabaa Tahir, Tomi Adeyemi, Ann Patchett, Dani Shapiro, Danielle LaPorte, Tosca Lee, Joy Harjo, and Deepak Chopra.
©2022 Linda Sivertsen (P)2024 HighBridge, a division of Recorded BooksWhat sets Linda apart is not only the wealth of knowledge she shares but also the way she paints a vivid picture of growth, struggle, and triumph. As someone who values the transformative power of books, I found myself profoundly impacted by her insights. The experiences she weaves into her writing are more than mere anecdotes—they are stepping stones toward personal change.
For me, this book felt like a journey I was meant to take, one that challenged my perceptions and allowed me to imagine how these lessons could change my own life. Linda’s authenticity shines through every page, making you feel like you’ve known her for years.
Her writing has a unique ability to connect with readers on a personal level, making "Beautiful Writers" not just a read, but an experience. I highly recommend this book to anyone seeking not only knowledge but the inspiration to live more fully. Linda truly deserves recognition as one of the best writers of our time, and this book is a testament to her remarkable gift.

Linda masterfully braids her personal stories as a writer with tips from authors such as Cheryl Strayed, Dani Shapiro, Anne Lamott, Jenny Lawson, Tom Hanks and Elizabeth Gilbert among fifty-six others.
What makes this stand out from other books about writing is Linda’s evocative memoir writing. It’s magical.
I’d pair this book with a Californian Sauvignon Blanc, which is zesty and refreshing, much like Linda’s take on writing.
Score: 99 points out of 100.
