In this specially-commissioned anthology, sixty accomplished
authors share secrets and insights into their writing lives: on
their inspirations, methods, wild ideas and daily routines; on the
pleasure and the pain in achieving their literary goals; on how
they started out and how they hope to continue. They outline some
golden rules for staying on track and talk candidly about what goes
wrong as well as right. We hear from novelists, poets, biographers,
and children's writers; illustrators, campaigners, teachers,
mothers, husbands, an entrepreneur turned surfboard shaper, a
quantum physicist, an opera librettist, and a Laureate who loves
dragons. All writers. We have emerging talents in our team
alongside much-loved authors whose books have sold in millions.
Each reflects in their own way on the creative process and the
compulsion to write. How to find inspiration? How to get the words
right? How to cope with writer's block? How to handle bad reviews?
How to become a better reader? Pencil or computer? Inside or out?
And where do the good ideas really come from? Swallowed by a Whale
includes contributions from: Kwame Alexander, Anthony Browne,
Cressida Cowell, Isabelle Dupuy, Inua Ellams, Lev Grossman, Joanne
Harris, Catherine Johnson, Thomas Keneally, Neal Layton, David
