Download our free anthology, 'The Writer's Journey'
This anthology, compiled by editors Michelle Mocumbi and Andrew Murton, brings together twenty of the best essays from our My Writing Journey competition held by the Writers’ College (2018–2025).
The writers come from all over the world – big cities, small towns, late-night kitchen tables. They write about the real business of becoming a writer: the thrill of a breakthrough, the punch of rejection, the slog of sitting down yet again when they’d rather be anywhere else.
Wherever you are on your own writing path, may these stories about the journey to mastery keep you company. May they remind you that all writers, even the famous ones, have wanted to give up at times. Their success is largely because they didn’t.
