  • Maeve Binchy : The Writers ClubThe Writers Club is a book written by Ireland’s queen of fiction Maeve Binchy as a beginner’s writers guide. It is published by Orion and its ISBN is 0752883070. It is as one would expect written in Maeve’s usual style both witty and compassionate . She says everyone can write ! It comprises of 20 letters from Maeve to aspiring writers including advice on writing and getting published. Tips on what publishers and agents are looking for are included, as is snippets of a writer’s life. Blank pages are included for personal thoughts and notes so it can be used as a journal. A sweet short story by Maeve Binchy called Writing Class is also included. It is a pleasant book aimed to inspire people to just pick up a pen and begin to write. I am a huge Mave Binchy fan and that helped but I still highly recommend to all libraries, bookclubs, colleges and budding writers.

  • Unless this is your very first writing book, don't bother with this one. Even then, if you've even thought about it seriously, this isn't for you. If you just like the IDEA of writing, you might like it.
