Unlock your full potential as a writer with the transformative power of deliberate practice! You've heard of the idea that 10,000 hours can lead to mastery in sports, music, or chess—but how does this concept apply to creative writing? Deliberate Practice for Creative Writers is a practical guide for ambitious authors looking to refine their writing craft, in fiction or non-fiction, whether they are experienced or aspiring writers.
Inspired by the research of Profs. Anders Ericsson and BJ Fogg (Tiny Habits), and Paul Klee's Bauhaus training for artists, Deliberate Practice for Creative Writers is a groundbreaking handbook and inspirational guide for writers who want to make real improvements to their craft and style. Studies have shown that the most effective way to improve is through intentional, focused practice, broken down into manageable, bite-sized exercises that target specific skills. This book helps to demystify the writing craft by showing you how to apply the same disciplined methods used by top performers in other fields to your own creative work.
Discover how to:
- Analyze the techniques of your favorite authors and apply them to your own writing.
- Make incremental improvements by focusing on specific aspects of writing craft.
- Design an effective, personalized practice routine that fits your goals and daily life.
- Keep track of your progress and create your own deliberate practice skills reference.
Whether you're writing fiction, non-fiction, memoir, poetry, or scripts, Deliberate Practice for Creative Writers offers a powerful strategy for developing your own unique voice and skills and learning from the best. Your unique deliberate practice can take as little as five minutes a day, and you can put your discoveries into practice right away. Start your journey to becoming a more skilled and confident writer today—one deliberate step at a time.
Jules Horne is an award-winning Scottish author with over a decade's experience teaching undergraduate and postgraduate creative writing for The Open University. She writes fiction, non-fiction, spoken word and scripts, and was part of the writing team for the OU MA in Creative Writing.

Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.

Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.

The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.

The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
