The Way of the Fearless Writer is a radical departure from traditional advice, allowing readers to sink into the act and art of creation – the place where formlessness meets form. A must-read for those wanting to write from an embodied sense of self. – Steph Jagger, author of Unbound and Everything Left to Remember

Kempton speaks writer to writer in this mindful approach to the writing life, based on Buddhist thought; on this journey of discovery and wonder, her tone will make them feel as though she’s a friend and co-conspirator in the creative process. – Library Journal Review (USA)

This book whispered to me gently like a loving friend who wants the best for me (and the medicine within me). Pick up the pen, she urged, give this a go. I’ll be keeping her near me as I continue and reignite my writing journey. – Becky Barnes, freelance journalist

If you need encouragement to write, or reassurance that you can be – that you are – a writer, this is the book for you. – Laura Pashby, author of Little Stories of My Life (@circleofpines)

The Way of the Fearless Writer is the book I’ve been waiting to read my whole life. – Rachael Boughton, poet and author

The Way of the Fearless Writer will be a bible for writers. – Jessica Hepburn, author and adventurer

Are you a writer, and if so do you live in fear? If yes and yes are your answers to this double question, then you need The Way of the Fearless Writer. – The Times Literary Supplement (TLS)

Beth’s approach is practical and honest, yet deeply spiritual and caring. The Way of the Fearless Writer is a tonic for the soul. All writers should take time to read it. We’re keeping this book by our bedside. It is more than just a book, it’s a way of life. – London Writers’ Salon

This is the only book to actually get me writing rather than thinking about writing. I feel seen, heard, and part of something so much bigger than me. It is going to change my life in ways I don’t even know about yet. – Louise Goodfield, @poetryvanlife

(In response to the first exercise in the book) As I began to write, the words felt like they were flying out of me. The thoughts rushed to be written. Even now I’m shaking from the incredible feeling of writing from deep within. I’ve wanted to write for so long. In my heart I’m a writer. Today it feels true. – Rebecca Boland
