Financial Times
Full of encouraging examples and practical tips, many of them more far-reaching than they seem at first glance.
Robert Cochran, co-creator and executive producer, 24
With compassion, wit and the wisdom gleaned from a long and successful writing career, Jurgen Wolff guides you, step by step, on the inner and outer journey to writing success. An invaluable tool for the aspiring writer.'
Julian Friedmann, writer's agent, Blake Friedmann, and editor, ScriptWriter magazine
'Your Writing Coach pays as much attention to writers as to what they write and should help seasoned pros as much as it will help beginners. Jurgen Wolff is wise and constructive when it comes to such issues as fear of failure, your inner critic, and rejection, as well as brainstorming and finding the conditions in which to work. Highly recommended.
Rupert Widdicombe, writer and journalist
This book is the real deal--no fluff or padding, just concentrated insider knowledge. By far the best book on writing I have read.
William F. Owen, author of Blackfoot Is Missing
This book is an antidote to the bad advice aspiring writers are often given. There are only two books on writing I recommend--Stephen King's and this one.
Xavier Koller, Academy Award-winning director, Journey of Hope
This book will help you find the insights of the writing craft. Pick it up and let it guide you to success.
Phil Doran, author of the bestselling The Reluctant Tuscan
Jurgen Wolff demystifies the writing process in a series of easy-to-understand steps guaranteed to make you a better writer.
