Top Tip Tuesdays!


Hello and welcome to KSP's Top Tip Tuesday blog series, designed to inspire your writing habits - or just distract you for a few moments! - during the coronavirus pandemic.

These top tips have been retrieved from the KSP archives. They will be published fortnightly on Tuesdays and come to you courtesy of past Writers and Fellows in Residence.

Top Ten Tips

By Claire Potter, KSP's 2006 Emerging Writer-in-Residence:

  1. Carry a pencil with you at all times

  2. Find someone to share and discuss your work with

  3. Read your work out loud, to magpies or plants or trees

  4. Ask yourself at least once a year why you write

  5. Learn how to talk about your work in a coherent manner

  6. Read contemporary writing and try to articulate why you do or do not like it

  7. Subscribe to writer’s magazines or poetry journals

  8. Keep lists at all times

  9. Listen to peoples stories

  10. Have at least one obsessive and strange hobby.
