Should you have a go at copying your favorite authors? Why ought you listen to your inner voice, and what exactly does that mean?This book explains how the process of writing really works and helps you find your own way through it, with pages of analysis and serious advice, all gleaned from decades of professional experience and with examples from the best fiction of Stephen King and Susan Hill.
