Drawing on his years of experience as a writer, editor and publisher, here, Gordon Smith reveals some insights aimed at making writing more effective.
"When I tell people I'm a writer they always tell me how lucky I am. How splendid it must be to write a best-selling book about wizards and mysterious lands. Many have conjured the image of the creative genius - tucked away in his garret, a glass of absinth in one hand churning out perfect prose and having the time of his life. What many fail to realise is the sheer amount of hard work, planning and frustration that goes into the creative process. It's not just about raw talent. As any writer will tell you we must learn certain skills which will help the creative process flow - from initial thought to pen final stroke. In "Inspired Creative Writing", I will reveal insiders' techniques for ensuring that you produce the best possible writing that you can!" - Gordon Smith. What's it about? Gordon Smith reveals some brilliant insights into making writing more effective. Drawing on his years of experience as a writer, editor and publisher, Gordon's book will prove an invaluable aid to any writing experience. Then perhaps when you tell people you are a writer, their envious looks will be deserved!
In "Inspired Creative Writing", Gordon Smith remarkably reveals: ways and means of overcoming writer's block; amazing techniques for making your characters leap off the page (or out of the window); the importance of research and how to use it; the importance of location, location, location; the best schemes for planning and developing plots that work; inspired results for writing TV, radio and film scripts; and, le mot just- toujours!

Alexander Gordon Smith is more than qualified to write this book. Aside from having published more than 300 books, short stories and articles he has run workshops and information classes for all ages, helping numerous people into print, and is the editor and co-author of the forthcoming Trade Secrets: Creative Writing series. He has also seen the industry from the Dark Side, as Managing Director of Egg Box Publishing, one of the country's most innovative independent publishing houses, and knows exactly what those obstinate buggers called publishers want to see in a manuscript.
