Review
‘A wonderful, invaluable resource, full of useful frameworks and ideas. Highly recommended.’ Irenosen Okojie FRSL MBE, Vice Chair of the Royal Society of Literature
‘Offers pertinent, perceptive and plentiful advice for those first starting out or building their skills in creative writing. Enlivening chapter discussions rub shoulders with well-chosen readings to create dynamic conversations which it feels a pleasure to eavesdrop on.’ Andrew McMillan, Manchester Writing School at Manchester Metropolitan University
‘A refreshingly practical book that invites writers at whatever stage to dive in and out with exercises, encouragement, information, reading and guidance.’Yvonne Battle-Felton, fiction writer, Sheffield Hallam University
‘Creative Writing is astonishing in its thoughtfulness: there's a calm, authoritative thoroughness about the way skills and topics are introduced, supported by readings, and paired with exercises. This would be a very useful workbook for instructors as well as new writers.’ Marshall Moore, Course Leader in Creative Writing at Falmouth University
‘Offers practical, clear, and substantial advice for writing in a range of genres. As you will find from using this imaginative, generous and ingenious book, the journey will surprise and transform you.’ David Morley FRSL, Warwick Writing Programme at Warwick University, author of The Cambridge Introduction to Creative Writing

5.0 out of 5 stars Love this!
It was recommended this book by my university lecturer as I couldn't justify doing an MA in creative writing. He said this was the next best thing and to work though the book as if doing a university course. So far I've been loving it.
5.0 out of 5 stars Love this.
Lots of advice, brilliantly laid out, loads of prompts, fab advice. Is an actual OU text book on one of their creative writing modules which is great. Love this book, it's incredibly helpful, it is now my bible and I could not be without it!!!
3.0 out of 5 stars Creative Writing A215
This is the text book for the Open University course A215, Creative Writing.It's a well written introduction.I didn't do the course. I've used it to prepare for an MA course. I missed out the exercises and associated readings.If you are doing the course, I'm not sure that the Kindle form would work so well. There is a printed version.
5.0 out of 5 stars Bought before receive OU copy on Sept!
Wanted to get a head start on new OU module for Creative Writing A215 - didn’t realise you could do this h til someone on the current Lit module sayid he’d done same. So pleased. It’s looks very comprehensive for any would be writer - a bible I think I’ll cherish! And will poss sell the other on eBay when I receive!
1.0 out of 5 stars Inaccessible and unhelpful
As ridiculously inaccessible as the last version. For example, when it comes to free writing, it says 'How to do it? Just let the words tumble out' but doesn't explain how to do that, or what to do if nothing comes to mind. If people are reading a textbook about something, it's because they can't do it, and the textbook should be written for that
Very heavy book..... Large and difficult to carry
(function() { P.when('cr-A', 'ready').execute(function(A) { if(typeof A.toggleExpanderAriaLabel === 'function') { A.toggleExpanderAriaLabel('review_text_read_more', 'Read more of this review', 'Read less of this review'); } }); })(); .review-text-read-more-expander:focus-visible { outline: 2px solid #2162a1; outline-offset: 2px; border-radius: 5px; } Does the job.
On time for class
What I like the most is the price was cheaper than getting electronic access through school. I also like that it's a hard copy that I can access after class is over. Well worth the price and great on delivery as well.
