There are countless high-quality publications available on the subject of writing.
Some of my all-time faves? I can’t remember how many times I’ve joyfully referred back to Julia Cameron’s The Artist’s Way, and Vein of Gold. Superb, helpful, heart-opening, fear-rending, spirit-growing and motivational stuff!
While they seem a bit outdated now, I enjoyed The Sell Your Novel Toolkit by Elizabeth Lyon and The Wealthy Writer by Michael Meanwell.
UC Irvine has a fiction novel writing class which uses Donald Maass’ Writing the Breakout Novel Workbook. I will certainly be checking into it!
I want to hear from you!

Hi Rebecca. Thanks for your kind comments on my blog. It’s kind of new so I’m working hard to fill it with interesting stuff. I would love to present my creative writing series on your blog. I’ve scheduled it to start on July 18th and it’ll run in 6 parts, with an intro on july 15th. Have a look and see what you think. If you’re interested in running it – let me know. thanks, Jes.
My favourites are Writing Down the Bones by Natalie Goldberg – you can just pick it up, open at random and be inspired; also Fearless Creating by Eric Maisel – about creativity in general and fantastic for getting you writing. I’m planning a series based on his breakdown of the creative process for my blog at the moment – coming soon. Like your blog – lots of interesting posts to read..
