[.uk] One Year to a Writing Life: Twelve Lessons to Deepen ... (ISBN 1600940587)

A great book:
This is a wonderful book. I have been using One Year to a Writing Life as a textbook this semester in my Creative Writing course. The book is very well conceived so my syllabus follows the twelve lessons, week by week, with extra weeks for longer in-class writing. The book provides clear guidance, great examples and it inspires! It inspires me to both teach and write and it inspires my students. Before I chose One Year to a Writing Life as a textbook for my class, I surveyed many texts that are on the market and not a single one comes close to this great book. Thank you, Ms. Tiberghien, for helping all of us who write and who teach writing. Jelena S. Bankovic, Ph.D. Professor of English, Oakton College, Illinois

The Writing Life of a Writers' Group:
For the last seven months, since I suggested our writers' group work, learn & write our way through Susan Tiberghien's One Year To A Writing Life, our group's commitment has solidified with each chapter of her book. Each bi-weekly meeting finds the six of us (writers, poets, academics)gathered to read & review our exercises from each chapter, copies for all and with reference to Tiberghien's "text". Recently, as a response to the growth in our writing and our awareness of that growth, we have re-committed to returning to particular chapters so that we may explore them once more in even greater depth, based on both the pleasure of the process and our personal learnings as writers. As the convener of our group, I would suggest a group approach to One Year To A Writing Life is an ideal process to apply to Susan Tiberghien's wise & illuminating guidance.

Sensational writing tool:
Don't have time to write a long review. This book is well worth the money. Best writing book I have bought since "Writing Down the Bones" over 20 years ago.

Very well explained:
This book is very good. Very well explained. Fro someone who likes to write and has not very much experience, this is a very good start.

Excellent Tool:
In my opinion this is one of the best books of its kind. If you use the excellent tools and exercises in each chapter, you will be inspired and gently guided along on your writing path, toward your goals.
