(Would you like some writing advice from Charles Dickens as you accompany him on his rounds assisting fallen women? How about having F. Scott Fitzgerald tell you about revealing character as the two of you have a drink--actually, 12 drinks--at his favorite bar? Or maybe you'd like to ask Beckett for some tips afte he tells you his favorite "Knock-knock" joke: Knock-knock/ who's there? /(silence). Sorry, they're all dead but you can still get their writing advice in my book, "Your Creative Writing Masterclass," published by Nicholas Brealey and available from Amazon or your other favorite bookseller. Well, except Beckett's advice. I'm still waiting for that.)
