Praise for the previous edition: <br> A wise and witty analysis of the process of self-confrontation and growth through writing. --Harvard Educational Review<br>


<br>Praise for the previous edition <br> A wise and witty analysis of the process of self-confrontation and growth through writing. --Harvard Educational Review<p><br>


Writing need not be a solitary activity - this guide highlights the advantages of committing with a group of like-minded writers to explore and improve, in a situation without a teacher. Teaching oneself, learning with others, is a process of letting the inner voice flow out, and of being one's own judge. Judgement itself has a range of aspects which can be developed and fine-tuned. Indeed it is the process of refining and trusting one's own judgement which is all important in writing. Not just aimed at fiction writers, but at anyone who wishes to express their meaning in writing, this book is a worthwhile read for students of the word in exploring and recognizing thoughts waiting to be expressed aptly. (Kirkus UK)
