  • Our take on the The Writers and Artists Guide to How to Write

    How to Write is Harry Bingham's guide to the craft of novels and narrative non-fiction aimed at publication. It is not a creative writing textbook: it teaches story, character and prose style plus the supporting tools an author needs to satisfy an agent, a publisher and readers. Bingham has published six novels and three non-fiction titles and founded the Writers' Workshop, so the book condenses what he learned coaching new writers toward publication. It suits writers who already draft and want craft and industry guidance in one volume, rather than exercises alone.
