Product Description

Review
"With compassion, wit and the wisdom gleaned from a long and successful writing career, Jurgen Wolff guides you, step by step, on the inner and outer journey to writing success. An invaluable tool for the aspiring writer." --Robert Cochran, co-creator and executive producer, 24 "Your Writing Coach pays as much attention to writers as to what they write and should help seasoned pros as much as it will help beginners. Jurgen Wolff is wise and constructive when it comes to such issues as fear of failure, your inner critic, and rejection, as well as brainstorming and finding the conditions in which to work. Highly recommended." --Julian Friedmann, writer's agent, Blake Friedmann, and editor, ScriptWriter magazine "This book is the real deal--no fluff or padding, just concentrated insider knowledge. By far the best book on writing I have read." --Rupert Widdicombe, writer and journalist "This book is an antidote to the bad advice aspiring writers are often given. There are only two books on writing I recommend--Stephen King's and this one." --William F. Owen, author of Blackfoot Is Missing "This book will help you find the insights of the writing craft. Pick it up and let it guide you to success." --Xavier Koller, Academy Award-winning director, Journey of Hope "Jurgen Wolff demystifies the writing process in a series of easy-to-understand steps guaranteed to make you a better writer." --Phil Doran, author of the bestselling The Reluctant Tuscan "Absorbing and inspiring, Your Writing Coach is destined to become an instant classic. Jurgen Wolff's treasure trove of advice and insider secrets will prove to be an indispensable friend to all those who aspire to the writing life." --Amanda Barry Hirst, author of PR Power

5.0 out of 5 stars If you're looking for a book to help with creative writing, buy this first, 25 Aug 2008
By Tasha Noble (Hampshire, UK) - See all my reviews
I was one of those people who said for years that they wanted to write, but never quite got round to it. In January of this year, I decided to stop procrastinating and DO something about it. I bought lots and lots of books on writing, and I have to say that of the seven or eight I bought, ''Your Writing Coach'' is by far the best (with Stephen King's ''On Writing'' coming a close second.)

First of all, it's immensely readable. Like one of the other reviewers of this book, I read it from cover to cover, rather than just dipping into it, though now I am writing regularly, I refer to sections of it again and again.

It is very well laid out, with an overview of each chapter, and a summary of the key points, along with exercises to help you. There are also bonus features, in the form of an internet link, at the end of each section. These links will take you to interviews and advice from writing and marketing experts.

If you are planning on writing for publication, this book is an invaluable guide which will answer most of your questions. I cannot recommend it highly enough!

5.0 out of 5 stars Much More Than A How To Write Book, 20 May 2007
By N. Boulicault - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Your Writing Coach is a cut above other writing books because it not only guides you to writing successfully but also to being a successful writer.

I've used the practical and holistic strategies from the book/website to turn a niche teen novel into the basis of a mulit-media project. More importantly I know that I will continue to use it as that project develops or mutates into something different.

It came as no surprise that Your Writing Coach delivers on a great concept. I used Wolff's (with Kerry Cox) Successful Screenwriting book to shape a project that was subsequently accepted by a prestigious EU Media Training Programme.

Your Writing Coach is also a good read (with a couple of laugh out loud moments) and the concept is both creative and generous.

5.0 out of 5 stars What I was looking for, 6 Aug 2007
By Clancy Walker (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Being a great believer in coaching techniques and NLP, I was delighted to find a book that encompasses these with a focus on writing, along with many many practical hints and tips to get this flowing and focused.

I've attended two of Jurgen's workshops and this book is a great summary of his techniques and style.

Highly recommended, particularly for those just starting out like me!
