Gifts for Writers

We writers are kind of particular sometimes, which can make it hard to find good gifts for writers. Here’s a few great ideas from one writer to another.

I’ve never been this excited about the holidays - so early! The day after thanksgiving retail anarchy and all the sales that are being advertised are affecting me. While I spend more time thinking about what travel books to get and give this December, lets talk about some alternative gifts for writers:

• Levenger is the store for serious readers. From paper products to furniture with organization and work tools in between. Travel writers will like the sleek flip pocket briefcase, and I loved finding their storyboard notepads.
• The Bed Desk is handier than it might appear.



• A copy of the Writer’s Market book, or a subscription to the newly redesigned WritersMarket.com is in order. Searching online is so handy when you’re away from the bookshelf.
• How about giving your favorite writer a class? By all means, ask them which one they want first, but the faves are the Book Passage Travel Writers & Photographers Conference, Amanda Castleman’s Travel Writing class, and my friends Larry Habegger, Linda Watanabe McFerrin, Don George, John Flinn and Lynn Ferrin do bang up sessions at Book Passage throughout the year.
• No writer can ever have enough Moleskine Notebooks
• A fancy pen from Joon!



• I would love a gift certificate to eBags so I could pick out a new laptop bag!
• Wine rack book ends because drinking writers have class, too!
• Coffee house gift certificates, never enough! Coffee Bean, Peet’s, Starbucks.
• T-Mobile Hotspot prepaid WiFi cards
• Accolade and keepsake boxes for acceptance letters - now there’s an idea.
• And of course, a gift certificate to their favorite local indie bookstore!
