[Kate Krake · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a good book for new writers and anyone looking to kick start their creative drive. It's not a step-by-step "How To Write" guide, but more of a discussion of heaps of different writing and creativity techniques that encourages individuals to experiment with what works best for them.

[Jade · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is the ideal book for creative writing students at university, writers and people interested in the subject.

It is a great book full of great information. My prof told everyone in class to get this book and I have to say, it's one of the best books you can ever possibly read on the subject, another good book is Writing Short Stories by Alissa Cox. Two brilliant books and the author of the second book is one of my tutors, she's really great!!!!!

A more academic book for any writers to check out. Written in a way that is very accessible, I have this book on hand to use for help and inspiration alongside No Plot? No Problem! by Chris Baty
