Discovering Creative Writing Reviews

Harper's refreshing focus on creative writing as activities infuses his book with value: when he writes about 'structuring' and 'ending', he means writerly actions rather than features of texts. If you, in the author's words, 'yearn for knowledge' and 'seek understanding' of creative writing processes, this is your book. * Bob Broad, Illinois State University, USA *

Graeme Harper invites the writer on a voyage unlike any other, a multifaceted archaeological expedition into creative writing in culture writ large, and creative writing in particular, inviting writers to probe their processes like a detective, to 'Live the questions' about their own work just as Rilke advised his young poet. Those who accept his invitation are in for a treat as they come to a new understanding of themselves as writers.

* Stephanie Vanderslice, University of Central Arkansas, USA *

Discovering Creative Writing is essential reading for any writer. Through a discussion of form, structure, technique and influence, Harper brilliantly shows how creative writing has never mattered so much, nor been so vital, to our own self discovery.

* Spencer Jordan, University of Nottingham, UK *
