By focusing on the importance of facing all our emotions - loss and rage, as well as joy and celebration - Write for Life introduces the reader to a fusion of ideas and practice to develop creative writing.

Write for Life Reviews

Both a writer's notebook and a manual. To explain what techniques? Something like those involved in the miracle at Whitsun. When tongues of fire filled the house and the apostles received the gift of words. A preparatory manual. Practical. Straightforward. Containing hope. John Berger
