Lawrence Block gives the student author all the information necessary to write a great book or story but there is one problem; the student writer can’t be Block, who is witty, clever and engaging. I don’t intend to write myself but I like writers. Especially Block.

This collection of columns from Writer's Digest might seem too specialized for those of us with regular day jobs and no literary ambitions, but just like Lawrence Block's other books on writing and authors, I found this a really lnteresting listen. A nice mix of anecdotes, advice and insights into the writing process, excellently narrated.

Companions - only for fiction writers?

Another compilation of some of Lawrence Block's Writers Digest columns where he dispenses pearls of wisdom gathered from over fifty years (at time of writing) experience in the field.

Despite having no inclination to take up writing for either fun or profit, I quite liked the peek behind the curtains. There's a bit of repetition as some of the columns which appear consecutively inevitably give a hat-tip to his current novel either just published or about to be. I think in this instance it was Eight Million Ways to Die. I'm not complaining though.

I enjoyed the narration, the anecdotes, the odd reference to other writer's and the writing about writing - mis-steps, the sense of work sometimes going nowhere, abandonment, persistence, practise, discipline. I'm so glad I'm just a reader.

Really helpful book fiction writing. Practical advice, personal experiences, and great to have on audio and it's something I've always come back to over the years.

Great writing guide
