Get Started in Creative Writing Reviews
-
I think this book is exactly what it says it is in the blurb. It is a great book for writers new to creative writing. It is filled with easy to understand chapters and then workshops to get your creative juices flowing. It also covers the whole host of creative writing concepts from short stories, novels, screenplays and to blogging. Even if you are not at the beginning of your journey and are happily ploughing through a novel, this book may hold some great info about writing television screenplays and how to break into that area of work. A great book.

A thorough and helpful book full of practical advice and inspirational exercises. I particularly liked Stephen May's exploration of contemporary genres such as life writing ("creative non-fiction") and blogging. However, technology continues to move on, so that his routine disregard for self-publishing feels out-of-date in view of the possibilities now opening up through e-books.
