Synopsis
"We should write because it is human nature to write" - Julia Cameron. For those jumping into the writing life for the first time and for those already living it, the art of writing will never be the same after reading this book. Provocative, thoughtful and exciting, you'll return to it again and again as you seek to liberate and cultivate the writer residing within you. This isn't a book of rules, which can stifle creativity - and certainly not about how to write that query letter, how to find a market for your work, or how to find a agent. It's about using writing to bring clarity and passion to the act of living. The secret's in breaking loose from the grip of your established thought process, to unleash the wave of creativity striving to express itself within. Here are techniques illustrative stories to help you make writing a natural, intensely personal part of life. And this book includes the details of Cameron's own writing processes when creating her best selling books, which include the phenomenal and world famous "The Artist's Way" and "Vein of Gold".

Publisher and industry reviews
UK Kirkus review
'Writing claims our world. It makes it directly and specifically our own' so says Julia Cameron, author of The Artist's Way, in her introduction to this 'into the water' book written to encourage new writers teetering on the brink as well as those who have perhaps lost their way. Though it has some of the mannerisms we tend to associate with the pop psychology of American self-help manuals, The Right to Write is surprisingly straightforward, with lots of practical reassurance and guidance, debunking of myths and simple 'initiation tools' for getting started, enhanced by insights into the workings of Cameron's own creative process.
