Creative
Novel Writing, by Roselle Angwin (Robert Hale, hardback
and paperback).
This one's very much a hands-on guide, based on an annual course
I've been running for 8 years now. The course has been featured
in The Guardian, and one of my other courses (I run the Fire in
the Head creative and reflective writing programme) in The Sunday
Times.
http://www.roselle-angwin.co.uk
Synopsis
There are two sorts of writers: the dabbler, and the compulsive.
If you belong to the second category, and if you know that you have
a novel inside you itching to be freed, then this is the book for
you. Good creative writing, Roselle Angwin believes, is the product
of an alchemical encounter between creative imagination, the form
or vehicle it takes, and 'factor x'. This book is unique amongst
'how-to' books in that it addresses not only style and structure,
but also the core - the imagination, and the creation of the conditions
in which 'factor x' may occur. The book is also thoroughly practical;
its basis is course material tried and tested in Roselle's highly
successful 'A Novel in Two Terms' course. Through section headings
such as 'hunting and gathering', 'pain and passion', 'memories,
dreams, reflections' and 'where do ideas come from?' as well as
'viewpoint', plot', 'character', and 'dialogue', this book will
tempt, guide, seduce and bully you into finding your own imaginative
voice for the story you want to tell. Here indeed is a novel-writing
book which truly covers new ground.More

Do
Not Adjust Your Set - The Early Days of Live Television,
by Kate Dunn Do Not Adjust Your Set - The Early Days of Live Television, issued
by John Murray last month [July].Synopsis
In the early days of television, everything was live, even the "repeats".
Actors and actresses had to think on their feet, running from set
to set, often while changing costume and making cuts to their scripts
at the same time. In this book, stars such as Dame Eileen Atkins,
Wendy Craig and Sir Nigel Hawthorne recall the frenetic conditions
in which classics such as "Dixon of Dock Green" and "Z
Cars" were made, and the extraordinary hazards they had to
deal with - scenery collapsed, actors went missing, and even died.The Times has described it as 'hilarious', the Sunday
Times says it is 'packed with gripping anecdotes' and the Independent says, "Kate Dunn has compiled a valuable and necessary work of oral
history in a scandalously under-researched field. She has mapped
out a world of television that has been comprehensively lost. Live
television maybe gone but this entertaining history ensures it won't
be forgotten."More information can be found on Kate's website www.katedunn.co.uk
