Writing like a writer: Teaching narrative writing

by Libby Gleeson

Writing like a writer is both practical and inspiring – rather like Libby Gleeson herself. She is one of Australia’s best known writers, having written many of the books that are now essentials in school libraries and on children’s bookshelves. She is also known to a wide audience for her books and teaching on creative writing.

This book provides teachers with clear descriptions and activities to help students create their own characters and dialogue and place and action and everything in between, so that they too can express all of human knowledge and feeling in their narratives.
