Writing Without Teachers

In this classic work, Peter Elbow sets out his innovative teaching methods and outlines a practical programme for learning how to write. Equally useful for writing fiction, poetry, and essays as well as reports, lectures and memos, this approach is especially helpful to people who get "stuck" in their writing. Challenging traditional writing methods, Elbow focuses on encouraging ways of developing confidence and inspiration through free writing, multiple drafts, diaries, and notes.
