Loved this

Found the book so funny. Really sensible practical advice. Covers lots of different types of writing from books to screen plays, writing for films and suggestions for further reading.

Quite entertaining. Quite insightful. A good

signal to noise ratio, and I certainly learned some worthwhile things. Not sure the French and Saunders recommendation was so hilarious.

I think it was interesting how at the end of the play section he warns us not to "hector" the audience and in the very next section I feel like I am on the receiving end of a great big hectoring that even Hector himself would find a bit of a troyal. There's a pun in their somewhere, maybe DQ can help fix it.

Absolutely wonderful book.

I am a published author. I write for two glossy national magazines and have writtren for newspapers, radio and television. I'm also a professional stand up comedian.
I also suffer from all the insecurities, laziness, self doubts and procrastinations the author talks about.
This book is beyond helpful to anyone who wants to write, or for the writer, it's great to hear you're not alone. it's full of genuinely helpful advice on practicality all aspects of writing.

Honest and Practical Book about Writing

Would you consider the audio edition of How to Write Everything to be better than the print version?

It was certainly well read and brought out the humour from the author although I would have liked to have a print version to make notes and underline in.

Practical, honest and very funny

All of it

A helpful and real book about the truth of what it means to be an actual writer

If it won't help you, you're mistaken.

Line up your excuses, your time-sapping internal chatter, and bend over as Quantick eviscerates them and thrashes some loving sense into you. Stuffed with stuff of the stuff of experience. If you enjoyed Stephen King's 'On Writing', this is as good, only different.

A good introduction

I Enjoyed the book. It's very funny at times and also informative but probably lacked some of the detail I was looking for. That being said, I don't feel shortchanged, there is definitely a lot that can be taken from this book.

Good fun, interesting and engaging.

Like having a one-to-one with a stand-up comedian. I really enjoyed listening to David. Great advice for anyone writing anything and often laugh out loud funny too. Great value.
