If you're looking for a book to help with creative writing, buy this first August 25, 2008

I was one of those people who said for years that they wanted to write, but never quite got round to it. In January of this year, I decided to stop procrastinating and DO something about it. I bought lots and lots of books on writing, and I have to say that of the seven or eight I bought, ''Your Writing Coach'' is by far the best (with Stephen King's ''On Writing'' coming a close second.)
First of all, it's immensely readable. Like one of the other reviewers of this book, I read it from cover to cover, rather than just dipping into it, though now I am writing regularly, I refer to sections of it again and again.
It is very well laid out, with an overview of each chapter, and a summary of the key points, along with exercises to help you. There are also bonus features, in the form of an internet link, at the end of each section. These links will take you to interviews and advice from writing and marketing experts.
If you are planning on writing for publication, this book is an invaluable guide which will answer most of your questions. I cannot recommend it highly enough!

I found Jurgen Wolff's book absorbing and inspiring. Your Writing Coach is destined to become an instant classic. Jurgen's treasure trove of advice and insider secrets I'm sure will prove to be an indispensable friend to all those who aspire to the writing life.
Clear, practical, inspiring August 19, 2007

So many "help" books are little or no help, meandering about, but giving no real practical advice, just dangling carrots. Jurgen's book gives clear, inspiring, encouraging advice. His web link is invaluable - often I find I am reading books he has recommended, or following ideas he has suggested. And if you can get along to one of his workshops, in person he is just as friendly and helpful and encouraging. For beginners, get reading. And for every other writer this book offers new ideas, new ways of thinking. A jolly good read!

Being a great believer in coaching techniques and NLP, I was delighted to find a book that encompasses these with a focus on writing, along with many many practical hints and tips to get this flowing and focused.
I've attended two of Jurgen's workshops and this book is a great summary of his techniques and style.
Highly recommended, particularly for those just starting out like me!
Much More Than A How To Write Book May 20, 2007

Your Writing Coach is a cut above other writing books because it not only guides you to writing successfully but also to being a successful writer.
I've used the practical and holistic strategies from the book/website to turn a niche teen novel into the basis of a mulit-media project. More importantly I know that I will continue to use it as that project develops or mutates into something different.
It came as no surprise that Your Writing Coach delivers on a great concept. I used Wolff's (with Kerry Cox) Successful Screenwriting book to shape a project that was subsequently accepted by a prestigious EU Media Training Programme.
Your Writing Coach is also a good read (with a couple of laugh out loud moments) and the concept is both creative and generous.
