Industry Reviews

"[Creative Writing Guidebook] is much more than simply another book of creative writing exercises ... Clearly informed by academic enquiry into Creative Writing practice, it is also about developing and exploring, often in surprisingly idiosyncratic ways, what Harper calls the 'active critical sense' of the writer." - Writing in Education
