A guide to great writing, by great writers - from Alan Hollinghurst to Mary Beard.
What makes great writing?
This masterclass in craft from the writers and editors at the Times Literary Supplement, one of Britain's oldest literary magazines, offers an abundance of answers. An indispensable guide for readers and authors everywhere, this witty, wise and practical collection of new and classic essays includes:
- Alan Hollinghurst on the writer's voice
- Mary Beard on style in non-fiction
- Martin Amis on biography
- Blake Morrison on the writer's life
- And many more.
In cheerful defiance of the AI machines that seek to homogenize our style, these pages celebrate writing that's idiosyncratic, human: alive. With great writing, there's life in every word.
