A review by tricky
Everything I Know About Writing by John Marsden

4.0

I had read this book many years ago and found it at the time refreshing and engaging. Marsden is a well known Australian young adult author, his 'Tomorrow when the War began' series are highly revered.
What I love about this book is it is plain, simple, no nonsense, you can do it style. Marsden reminds you to open your eyes, look around and put this to the page. There are plenty of examples, ideas to get you writing and some excellent sections on grammar.
If you are a writer or want to be a writer, this is a great book to kick start you into tapping at those keyboards for hours on end.
Plus you have to love a cover that has a computer relic on it.
