A Different Story: How Six Authors became Better Writers
A Different Story: How Six Authors became Better Writers
What happens when you combine six students and one teacher with the Jack Grapes Method Writing (JGMW) programme? Magic! Jules Swales ran a summer refresher class for her students who’d been studying the JGMW for a couple of years. The students attended with the only intention of being better writers. The short stories in this book are examples of what’s possible when people use their superpower, write like you talk, combined with the JGMW exercises.
Over the five weeks each writer used the exact same method to come up with six unique pieces of writing. Jules Swales describes the method and the exercises at the beginning of each week so that you can see what the students were up to and be amazed by what showed up. Each piece is a profound and individual expression brought about through the straightforward techniques of JGMW. Whilst the authors have studied the Method Writing for around two years, every piece in this book was written in the five-week period of one summer refresher class.

About The Maker: IW Press
My name is Maria Illife-Wood, I have lived in the Coalville area for most of my life. When the pandemic hit, I wrote a social diary of the pandemic and published this through Amazon. As a result, people began to ask me for help to write and publishing their books and IW Press was formed in 2020.
I write and publish books; mostly memoir with key life messages or books that will help to change people's lives, often written by people in the "helping profession". There is too much mental ill-health in the world and I want to help people find more grace and ease in their lives, through writing and publishing books that can impact positively on people's mental health.
