An inspiring range of approaches to enrich your writing skills.
Packed with stimulating writing exercises, numerous quotes and over 30
extracts from literature across a wide variety of genres, the book can
be followed as a complete course or dipped into throughout. Accessibly
written by three published writers and experienced teachers from
leading creative writing institutions, this is a rich sourcebook of
techniques containing:
- challenging writing exercises to expand the writer's technique and 'voice'
- innovative ways of developing fiction and poetry styles
- in-depth introductions to stage, radio and film writing
- insights into the way different genres interact and how to adapt stories for performance
- advice on layout and professional presentation of work
"What is beguiling about the writing is the style – these are not
academic propositions: they are translations from experience and
practice" David Morley, Professor in Creative Writing, Warwick University
