What is involved in the act of creative writing? How do renowned authors such as Robert Pinsky, Iain Banks and Philip Pullman write? Proving that there is no single way of writing creatively, Inside Creative Writing features original interviews with award-winning authors from around the globe and reveals the different ways in which they speak of their writing lives. Organised around central themes such as drafting, writing habits and skills, the book explores a wide variety of approaches to the craft of creative writing. With practical exercises and reflective questions tied to each theme, this is essential reading for all practising and aspiring creative writers interested in how they are forging their own, unique ways of working.

I was disappointed when it was over'. - Robert Sheppard, Professor of Poetry and Poetics, Edge Hill University. 'This is a fascinating project, groundbreaking, really, and a great joy to read.' - Stephanie Vanderslice, Associate Professor of Literature, University of Central Arkansas, USA
