Freefall into Fiction by Barbara Turner-Vesselago

Helping writers to create fiction and memoirs of a publishable standard, this book shows step-by-step how to apply the techniques of Freefall Writing to the writing process. Looking specifically at how creative writing differs between genres, this book also shows how to write with emotion and purpose.
Barbara maps the dangerous journey from intuitive 'free-fall' writing to consciously created fiction, making it exhilarating; a lucid, well researched and clearly illustrated guide we can safely followA fitting companion to her strongly recommended Writing Without a Parachute. -- Dr Gillie Bolton, author of 12 books on writing including The Writer’s Key: Introducing Creative Solutions for Life.

I have wanted to write for years...this book made me feel that I can't wait to start! -- Debra Penman, co-author of Writing Well: Creative Writing and Mental Health
