Broom Of One’s Own by Nancy Peacock

For the novelist who had her work published twice, coming across an article in the National Enquirer that featured a headline declaring “Here’s One for the Books: Cleaning Lady Is an Acclaimed Author” was not just surprising, but also served as a source of inspiration. In her book titled A Broom of One’s Own, Nancy Peacock, whose debut novel was recognized by the New York Times as a Notable Book of the Year, explores the essence of being a writer with a delightful blend of warmth, humor, and honesty.

Peacock’s work serves as a valuable source of encouragement for all aspiring artists, regardless of their means of earning a living. She offers insightful advice and perspectives on motivation, skill development, and receiving critiques, while also sharing amusing anecdotes about the homes she cleans as a profession.
