Book Review:

Julia Cameron is an award-winning poet, playwright, filmmaker, and author of more than 25 books, including The Artist’s Way. Her works range from fiction to beloved volumes of prayers and children’s poems. A writer since the age of 18, she has written for most major national publications, including Rolling Stone and The New York Times.

Cameron is internationally known for her work on creativity. Her teaching and workshops on unlocking creativity inspired the international bestseller, The Artist’s Way, which has sold nearly a million and a half copies worldwide. The book links creativity to spirituality by showing how to connect with the creative energies of the universe. Her follow-up bestsellers include The Vein of Gold and The Right to Write.

Cameron is credited with having founded a new human potential movement, which has enabled millions of people to realize their creative dreams. Yet she prefers to describe herself simply as an “artist.” Cameron has taught The Artist’s Way workshops to such places as the Smithsonian and The New York Times, and her work is frequently taught in theological degree programs as well as in the arts.
