Whether you’re an established writer or a beginner, whether you see writing as a potential source of income, the road to stardom or as a personally rewarding spare-time occupation, this book will guide you through the writing process from the ideas stage through to the finish-line and on to the threshold of publication.

Creative writing is for everyone, whether as a richly rewarding hobby, a means of self-discovery, a vehicle for self-expression or as a possible means of earning a living. The chances of hitting the Sunday Times best-seller list might be slim but if you’re serious about developing your talent as a creative writer, if you need ideas and tips for getting your work finished, accepted and published then Creative Writing - The Essential Guide is the book for you.

By the end of this book you will be able to use a variety of different prompts for your ideas even when you’re not feeling inspired. You’ll have a better idea of your strengths and weaknesses as a writer; you’ll be able to look at your own work dispassionately and you’ll have the skills to edit and improve your work - making it the very best that it can be.
