Creative writing a practical guide - Julia Casterton

This book is a practical guide to creative writing, providing advice on style, form, developing work, and how to get published. Drawing on interviews with other writers, and her own long experience as a poet and tutor, Julia Casterton examines many kinds of writing--autobiography, poetry, dialogue, short stories, writing for screen and longer fiction. The third edition includes three completely new chapters, covering preparing poetry for performance and publication, writing your own myth and how to do research. The final chapter includes interviews with a novelist, poet and script-writer and provides a checklist of the stages needed to research a story, poem, novel or film.
