5.0 out of 5 stars An insightful writing companion Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 6, 2025 Format: KindleVerified Purchase Premise To Publication, by Julie Kusma MA. CW. Fic, as the title states, is an authoritative work, covering the process of creative writing, from project commencement to completion. It’s a tremendously accessible and relatable manual delving into the intricacies and pitfalls along the creative writing journey. The book itself is packed with essential tips, tools, with the Appendix, “The Writer’s Toolkit” alone, containing note sheet checklists, worksheets and more, is worth every penny. A tool for aspiring writers, students of the writing craft and a reminder for perennial writers also. It is worth noting the content of this book formed the basis of many years of highly successful presentations by Julie and me to Advanced Higher English level students in the Scottish Borders.
