‘Crisell distils what she has learned from interviewing an impressive array of authors into an accessible compendium… Essential reading for anyone interested in the writing process’ - Hannah Beckerman, Observer‘A must-read for any writers or budding creatives… stuffed full of vital advice and gems of wisdom from globally recognised authors, poets, journalists and screenwriters’ - Kiera Egan, Cosmopolitan ‘This book is BRILLIANT. I stormed through it in one go. It’s one of the best books about writing I’ve ever read, and certainly the most reassuring’ - Stuart Heritage ‘There are lots of books where writers say lots of useful stuff about writing. But this is one of the very best. It’s friendly and realistic. It’s a distillation of wisdom, an incitement to curiosity and an antidote to loneliness. Say hello to your new best writing buddy’ - Toby Litt
