Teach Yourself Creative Writing opens a window wide onto an exciting creative landscape - your own imagination. It covers a variety of different areas, using exercises to help the reader explore and develop their own ideas.

This book makes the subject easy and therefore accessible to all. A great deal has happened in the creative writing world over the last five years and this new edition includes new chapters on 'Writing from Experience', 'Magazine Short Stories', 'Creative Writing Competitions', 'Research and the Internet' and 'The Writer and Technology'.

Ian Burton - Although Ian has been writing since his teens it wasn’t until 1975 when he joined Dianne Doubtfire’s Creative Writing class on the Isle of Wight that he began to take it seriously. Ian is currently living in Dorset. He has been teaching Writing for Profit and Pleasure in adult education since 1988 and also works as Deputy Manager at Kinson Community Centre. He is currently working on his eighth novel.
Sadly, Dianne Doubtfire died earlier this year.
