Elizabeth Gilbert 

'The book that made a real impact on me is The Artist's Way by Julia Cameron. My friend [actress and comedian] Sophie Willan recommended it to me years ago, and I still have it on my desk. It enables anyone to tap into their creative self regardless of themselves - we often get in our own way when trying to achieve. Want to write that novel? That play? This is the book.'

Lemn Sissay 

'The Artist's Way by Julia Cameron is my favourite book'

Precious Lee Vogue

Julia Cameron

Julia Cameron

Hailed by the New York Times as 'The Queen of Change', Julia Cameron is credited with starting a movement in 1992 that has brought creativity into the mainstream conversation – in the arts, in business, and in everyday life. She is the bestselling author of more than forty books, fiction and nonfiction; a poet, songwriter, filmmaker and playwright. Commonly referred to as 'The Godmother' or 'High Priestess' of creativity, her tools are based in practice, not theory, and she considers herself 'the floor sample of her own toolkit.' The Artist's Way has been translated into forty languages and sold over five million copies to date.
