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)
In this classic work, Peter Elbow sets out his innovative teaching methods and outlines a practical programme for learning how to write. Equally useful for writing fiction, poetry, and essays as well as reports, lectures and memos, this approach is especially helpful to people who get "stuck" in their writing. Challenging traditional writing methods, Elbow focuses on encouraging ways of developing confidence and inspiration through free writing, multiple drafts, diaries, and notes.
