Review

"Both a writer's notebook and a manual. To explain what techniques? Something like those involved in the miracle at Whitsun. When tongues of fire filled the house and the apostles received the gift of words. A preparatory manual. Practical. Straightforward. Containing hope." John Berger

Synopsis

Drawing upon the author's own experience as a writer, this book looks at the limitations that are imposed through language, and identifies these linguistic traps. It reveals how creative writing can be used as a means of self-expression, especially for those experiencing particular difficulties.
