Margaret Atwood

With a good deal of gentle humour, Margaret Atwood and her staff aim to provide answers at this site to any questions either her fans or researchers are likely to ask. This is an attractive site and easy to navigate. It can be explored via Life & Times, which covers Atwood's Biography, Awards and her impressive range and output of Works, covering Poetry, Short Fiction, Novels, Children's Books, Non-fiction, Theatre, Radio and much more. Atwood provides a few nuggets of advice for new writers but sadly is now unable to give blurbs on new books, the reason for this being that she gets sent far too many and can neither read them all, nor choose between them. This she explains in a charming poem, published under Book Blurb Policy. Visit the Audio/Visuals section to find pictures of the author, Media Clips, Poetry Readings and comic. A pleasing and informative site.
