For the second outing of WM’s exciting new slot for creative writing submissions, we invited fiction and poetry on the theme of ‘The Book That Made Me Want to Write’, inspired by the first of our new Creative Writing Building Blocks column, which was about the relationship between reading and writing. We’ve been thrilled to read the many imaginative, thoughtful responses to this prompt, which has shown us how deeply writers value the works that set them on their own path. Like last month, it’s been a tough task to select the submissions to showcase but we hope you enjoy reading them as much as we did!
