Product Description

Review

'No writer-teacher is better qualified than David Morley to lift the veils on the discipline of Creative Writing. He writes with all his feelings and a richness of metaphor that is beguiling for the general reader, the general writer, and the teacher. The exercises are inspired, growing out of the author's profound understanding of the inviolable connection between good writing and good and various reading. This book will be an inspiration and tool for teachers and writers who, like Morley, understand that the development of writing involves acquiring skills, and that inborn genius benefits from training and understanding.' Professor Michael Schmidt, Professor of Poetry, University of Glasgow


Product Description

This pioneering book introduces students to the practice and art of creative writing and creative reading. It offers a fresh, distinctive and beautifully written synthesis of the discipline. David Morley discusses where creative writing comes from, the various forms and camouflages it has taken, and why we teach and learn the arts of fiction, poetry and creative nonfiction. He looks at creative writing in performance; as public art, as visual art, as e-literature and as an act of community. As a leading poet, critic and award-winning teacher of the subject, Morley finds new engagements for creative writing in the creative academy and within science. Accessible, entertaining and groundbreaking, The Cambridge Introduction to Creative Writing is not only a useful textbook for students and teachers of writing, but also an inspiring read in its own right. Aspiring authors and teachers of writing will find much to discover and enjoy.

5.0 out of 5 stars No excuses, just write, 18 Oct 2007
By J. Brigley "Jude Brigley" (Maesteg) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
What an interesting and stimulating book! As a teacher and would-be writer I found this book both challenging and delightful. The exercises are practical and thought-provoking. The ideas expressed made me think about my own practices with renewed vigour. It is thorough and lively but unlike some guides to writing, it also provides academic frameworks for writing which give the endeavour depth and intellectual rigour. I really enjoyed the book which made me re-enter the classroom with more creative heart and mind. I also loved Peter Blegvad's illustrations. The title makes the book sound too routine when really it is a labour of love by one of our most esteemed writers and teachers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Everything you need to know to write!, 3 Nov 2009
If you want to be a writer but don't know how to go about it, you should buy this book. It is one of the most helpful books I have ever read.

It is challenging to read because there is so much to take in, I would advise reading only one chapter at a time. I would also advise to underline parts that really speak to you because you will want to re-read them for inspiration when you are finished.

It is both practical and inspiring, I had a notion of creative writing before I read this book but it made it a reality. By the time you have finished reading it you will realise that all there is left to do is to write.
