The Portable Creative Writing Workshop

3.8/5 ( ratings)

How do writers practice? What do they do to warm up? When they have no ideas, do they write at all? Whether you belong to a writing workshop running low on steam, or you're struggling to continue working on your own, The Portable Creative Writing Workshop offers a wide range of games and exercises to help stimulate you in your writing. In three main sections covering The Raw Material, Poetry and Fiction, prize-winning poet and fiction writer Pat Boran takes a hands-on approach to the creative writing process, not only explaining many of the techniques and central concepts , but showing how these can be put to work in your writing. In addition, for the fourth section, Pat Boran is joined by more than two dozen other Irish and international poets, fiction writers and playwrights - including Maeve Binchy, Eavan Boland, Roddy Doyle, Seamus Heaney and Marina Warner - who offer their own writing ideas and advice. Creative writing can be a lonely activity. Sit down to it and, even in a crowded room, you're on your own. But if you'd welcome a supportive, encouraging and at times challenging companion, this is the book for you.
