Who is a woman writer who inspires you?
My favorite authors are generally male.
Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, Patterson, Chaucer, Shakespeare, etc. are some of my favorites.
However, along similar lines I have loved female writers like Bronte, Alcott, Austen, Tartt, Atwood, Morrison, Rand, and more.
The female authors I prefer tend to be more contemporary or modern reads rather than the classics.
Still, to choose one author would be basically impossible let alone a female one.
I suppose that I could admit that I once wrote Danielle Steele an email expressing my youthful enjoyment of her novels with strong female characters and asking for advice on how to become a writer – which I never fully followed. :/
Recently, I wrote about Michelle Obama’s book that inspired me, which is a rare occurrence.
However, no one particular person comes to mind as I’ve read so many amazing writers male and female.
Mostly, I am inspired by the strength of those who can and are willing to share their stories whether fiction or non. π
