Bill Arnott's Beat: Road Stories & Writers' Tips

Welcome to Bill Arnott’s Beat, a selection of personal stories and writers’ tips from international magazines and literary journals. These stories and articles focus on the craft of creativity, peppered with opinion, insights and humour, the result of Bill's travels as an author, poet, songwriter, and the accompanying tours, readings, live performances, and a life spent more or less on the road.

Treat this as pleasure reading, a comfy escape, or a concise writer’s reference book. Whether you spend your time reading and writing, want to do more of it, or simply want a handful of reminders to ensure you’re on track with your craft, consider this a handy touchstone. The book is organized into two parts: Road Stories and Writers’ Tips. A swath of overlap exemplifies the very nature of travel and of making art.
