A truly excellent book!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Creative Writing: A Practical Guide (Paperback)
I am reading English at university, and found this book to be of tremendous use. It is expertly written and very informative. I found myself going back to this book time and time again. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to develop their own creative writing skills.

Clariy and passion!,
By
This review is from: Creative Writing: A Practical Guide (Paperback)
I would highly recommend this whether you are a reader, writer or teacher (or all three, as I am). She demystifies technique and tools for intelligent analysis of creative writing, without disregarding the sheer hard work that is required; but you won't mind the work, because the the passion and clarity with which she writes is contagious.

3.0 out of 5 stars
Not necessarily for the beginner,
By A Customer
This review is from: Creative Writing: A Practical Guide (Paperback)
Because this book assumes some knowledge of the art of creative writing, it is not necessarily recommended for the beginner. The book includes many literary references which mean little if the reader is not familiar with the works referred to.Whilst the introduction clearly sets out the aims of the book, I did not feel these were fully achieved by the end of the book. However, the book included lots of useful information on what should be achieved, but I would have liked more information on the practical side of how to do it.
