A practical guide to great writing by some of the finest writers of our age, from Alan Hollinghurst to Mary Beard

Good writing is timeless. For anyone who wants to be a better writer, a more thoughtful reader, or a sharper thinker, the team at the Times Literary Supplement, one of Britain’s oldest-running literary magazines, are here to help. Practical, funny and smart, distilling decades of writing triumphs and catastrophes, the guide includes:

- Alan Hollinghurst on how to write fiction

- Mary Beard on how to find your subject

- Blake Morrison on how to write honest memoir

- Mary-Kay Wilmers on how to write women

- Ian Hamilton on how to write crime

- Martin Amis on how to be funny

- And many more.

This elegant masterclass lifts the lid on one of the most complex and simplest of acts: putting words on a blank page. Good writing starts here.
