Back to Creative Writing School - Bridget Whelan

'The creative writing bible' says C.S. Quinn, bestselling historical fiction author of The Thief Taker This confidence-building book is about discovering the kind of writer you want to be and becoming the best writer you can be. The 30 writing exercises will help you to take risks and experiment with language, and give you permission to make mistakes along the way, because the writer who didn't make a mistake didn't write anything worth reading... It's for poets and fiction writers and people who want to think in ink. It's for travel writers, day dreamers and story tellers, published novelists and absolute beginners. This book isn't really about going back to school, unless your school was a bit like Hogwarts (without quidditch or the scary bits). It's about releasing your inner creative writer and making your own kind of magic on the page. 'I recommend this book to all my students, and I recommend it to you. Great stuff.' Alex Pheby, Head of Creative Writing, University of Greenwich
