Creative Writer - Paperback

by Tom Fynn (Author)

Can writing be taught? Lecturer Tom Fynn is trying his best against difficult odds, but the life of this writer rarely runs smoothly. An affair with a student, a secret career as a porn author, a stalker who has vowed to destroy him, a vendetta with a famous author, and his quest to publish his masterpiece are occupying most of his time. Creative Writer reveals the little-voiced truths of the aspiring writer's existence: the triumphs and the disappointments, the hard lessons learned, the obsession with language . . . and the bizarre maniacs populating slush piles and postgraduate writing courses. If you've ever thought about writing a book, read this one first.
