About this title

Synopsis

They’ve worked on the railroad. They’ve busted rocks with a sledgehammer. They’ve fought fires, wiped tables, soldiered and carpentered and spied, delivered pizzas, lacquered boat paddles, counted heads for the church, sold underwear, delivered mail, driven garbage trucks. And they’ve all quit their day jobs. Irrevocably shaped by the long hours and languor of a hard day’s work, these authors put pen to page and created some of the finest works of the 20th century. In Don’t Quit Your Day Job, the authors trace their roots from blue-collar employment to the pinnacle of literary success.

Featuring: Howard Bahr, Rick Bragg, Sonny Brewer, Larry Brown, Pat Conroy, Connie May Fowler, Tom Franklin, Tim Gautreaux, William Gay, John Grisham, Winston Groom, Silas House, Suzanne Hudson, Joshilyn Jackson, Barb Johnson, Cassandra King, Janis Owens, Michelle Richmond, Clay Risen, George Singleton, Matthew Teague, Daniel Wallace, Brad Watson, and Steve Yarbrough.
