About this listen

How to Write Everything is the ultimate writer's handbook. It tells you about every aspect of writing, from having an idea to getting the idea out into the world and getting paid for it, too. It covers everything from journalism to screenwriting, from speeches to sketches, from sitcoms to novels.

With thirty years' experience as an award-winning scriptwriter, journalist, author, and broadcaster, David Quantick is ideally suited, as a writer, to write this definitive writer's guide to writing...everything.

Found the book so funny. Really sensible practical advice. Covers lots of different types of writing from books to screen plays, writing for films and suggestions for further reading.

What did you like most about How to Write Everything?

David Quantick is funny and encouraging. I found this book a helpful overview of the world of commercial writing and have taken away some good ideas. Worth a listen

What did you like best about this story?

I like the no nonsense approach. This isn't a book about how to cultivate creativity, there are other books on the market for this, but it is about being realistic in entering the world of writing.

What does David Quantick bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?

A better sense of his personality, his rhythm, the audiobook works well. I probably wouldn't have read this book in paper but I enjoyed the audiobook. Would have happily listened longer.

Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

The book is funny and I did laugh out loud at times.

Good fun advice

Line up your excuses, your time-sapping internal chatter, and bend over as Quantick eviscerates them and thrashes some loving sense into you. Stuffed with stuff of the stuff of experience. If you enjoyed Stephen King's 'On Writing', this is as good, only different.

If it won't help you, you're mistaken.

Like having a one-to-one with a stand-up comedian. I really enjoyed listening to David. Great advice for anyone writing anything and often laugh out loud funny too. Great value.

Good fun, interesting and engaging.
