Recensioner i media

"'All or most creative writing textbooks currently on the market are not addressed to the academic audience and context. Most are aimed at the individual writer experimenting alone... There is as yet very little for tutors and students in HE courses, to be read in the context of teaching and learning on these courses.' Richard Kerridge, Bath Spa University College."
