Five star reader review
‘I thoroughly enjoyed this book. As well as being an informative guide to the craft of writing, it is also a highly entertaining read. The author includes many inspirational quotes on writing, and anecdotes from his extensive knowledge of publishing and his own experiences developing the craft. He also touches upon many themes that are of interest to the would-be writer, ranging from developing the writing habit to the practicalities of writing in different genres, as well as submitting work to be published. The book is extremely accessible, and everything is laid out in a clear and logical manner, with useful summary points at the end of each chapter. For anyone who is serious about developing their writing, this book is a must-have.’
