Bookshop event for aspiring authors

Do you want to know how to take your writing to the next level? Then come to our event on 15th January when we'll be joined by Sarah Burton and Jem Poster who will be discussing their follow-up to their acclaimed handbook The Book You Need to Read to Write the Book You Want to Write.

The new book offers exercises and practical advice designed to set aspiring authors of fiction on their way to creating compelling short stories and novels.

'This engaging and lively handbook goes beyond setting exercises for writers, both aspiring and practising – it explains the how, the what and the why. It's like being in the presence of two experienced and enthusiastic tutors who are right there with you, every step of the way.'

Amal Chatterjee, Lecturer in Creative Writing, University of Oxford
