Based on her own experience exploring and teaching using imagery, Ann Palmer gives writers at every level the opportunity and tools to get more out of every stage of the writing process, as well as more from writing classes, workshops and exercises. With a right brain, image-lead approach to idea-generation, this book will revolutionise the lives of aspiring and professional writers and well as workshop leaders and teachers everywhere. But Writing and Imagery is not a prescription, a quick fix in a pill. It's an invitation to go on an inner adventure - a powerful way to discover spontaneity, joy and surprises in writing. It works. And it works in different ways for different writers. Artistic skill is not important, in fact, it's almost irrelevant to the process of redefining the writer's brain. While image work may be alien to many writers, I've found this approach fundamentally shifting and inspiring. Not only does it encourage and build self belief, but harnesses the brains cooperation in the writing process. Ann Palmer is a midwife for the birth of the reader's own enhanced creativity; she guides the reader to make their own discoveries and journeys into the imaginative subconscious. Don't just read through the book, use to it to explore the wild creativity of your right-brain. Once you've started working with Writing and Imagery, writer's block may well be a thing of the past. This new approach to writing has help for every stage of writing, from idea generation to being more original, from struggling with "show not tell" to writing synopses. After years of going to Ann's workshops, it's wonderful to see these amazing methods brought to a wider audience. This is a book few writers can afford not to read. 5.0 out of 5 stars Breath of fresh air in the How To literary section By Daniela I.
