Writers' Blogs

John Field's poetry reviews blog covers a lot of ground, essential reading in these days of minimal poetry reviewing in the national press.

This useful blog features detailed advice for creative writing of any kind (novels, short stories, screenplays, plays, etc...). Every post first analyses the work of a famous author (Kafka, Ibsen,...) and explains how the work applies a certain priciple, often featuring excerpts of the work. Then there is a counter-example of how NOT to do it, as sometimes you can recognize a weakness in your own writing much more clearly when you have seen it first-hand in somebody else's writing.
