Books by Graeme Harper

This is a book about discovering how you do creative writing. How you begin, how you structure, how your writing process works, how a work embodies movement and change, what influences you, and, ultimately, how you end. The book is aimed at both students of creative writing and anyone wishing to begin, continue, or improve their writing.

In this dynamic exploration of the discipline of creative writing, Graeme Harper departs from the established 'how-to' model in a personal manifesto which analyses why human beings are, and have long been, passionate about writing.

Featuring a collection of twelve teaching-focussed essays, this work includes an introduction to the subject of creative writing by Graeme Harper. Each chapter draws on key points about the nature of teaching and learning creative writing, and covers various genres of creative writing, including prose fiction, poetry, screen writing, and others.

This work deals with capture, imprisonment and punishment in colonial and post-colonial cultures. Each chapter focuses on a specific national or regional arena, providing insight into the social, economic and cultural conditions prevalent in colonial societies.

What is Creative Writing? Millions of people do it, but how do we do it, really? What evidence of its undertaking does Creative Writing produce? How do we explore Creative Writing and how do we come to understand it? This book considers these questions and analyses the very human activity of Creative Writing.
