We look at what writing actually consists of, and what the act of doing it means, and you’ll find creative writing advice and masterclasses on infusing your children’s writing with culture and heritage, writing about time travel when you don’t know much about science, and adding texture to the worlds you create by thinking about the garments characters wear.

With National Poetry Day on the horizon, there’s advice on finding your poems and how poetic techniques can benefit prose writers. 

The issue also includes practical guidance on honing words to create persuasive copy that pays, and getting into ghostwriting  – and don’t miss the chance to see where your words might get you into print in the competitions and calls for submission you’ll find throughout the magazine!
