Reader Reviews

My Bible! I use this book regularly when I come across problems in my writing. A great book with quirky anecdotes and fun facts, as well as tips and tricks to improve yourself as time progresses. You will definitely see the difference with this!

Love, love, love this book! Easy to read, informative and very motivational. I feel I can write a book every time I read this book. It is helping me believe in my ability to write. I read it almost every day and especially before my writing lectures. Great help!

A really useful guide, practical and fun. Was recommended by a friend – we borrowed his copy and liked it so much we bought our own – just like the razor company man – it was a very good steer by our friend. My 18 year old is studying english abd creative weiting and it is ideal for him.
