A Creative Compass

There is nothing Emma Gannon does not know about unlocking your creativity. And she’s poured every ounce of that knowledge into this book. A future classic. * Farrah Storr, Head of Substack International *
Another dose of genius from Emma Gannon. It's a proper reset for creativity. Motivating, inspiring and it takes the stress out of being creative. Reminding us to be calmer in the process, that the little things really make a big difference and that overwhelm is useless. It's a bible for all of us trying to come up with words to say. * Dawn O'Porter, million-copy bestselling author *
Now more than ever this book is required reading for anyone who wants to live a creative life. A Creative Compass provides a much needed reminder of importance of creativity, with some thoughtful corresponding guidance. I have clung to its words during recent world events and felt held, soothed, and at the same time galvanised into creative action. * Jennie Godfrey, bestselling author of The List of Suspicious Things *
Emma has been a professional inspiration of mine for over a decade, both for her creative output and her ability to translate her talent across mediums. Her first creativity guide – packed full of suggestions, yet non-prescriptive – is a gentle invitation to trust one’s own curiosity and intuition; while her personal reflections and anecdotes, shared throughout, are a reminder of the power of doing so. * Francesca Specter, author of Alonement *
A cosy, permission-giving guide on how to return to your creative practice. * Freya Bromley, author of The Tidal Year *
Emma Gannon's honesty, open-mindedness and willingness to be vulnerable lay out a path for her readers to follow. -- Julia Cameron, author of The Artist's Way
A Creative Compass is in the tradition of The Artist’s Way or Writing Down the Bones, less of a “how to write a novel” manual and more a guide to connect us to our inner creativity. It is such a beautiful read, it is honest and also SO joyful. I felt like many people in my life would gain a lot from reading it, not just artists. * Louise O'Neill, author of Whatever Happened to Madeline Stone *
A bright light and a shining star, and in many ways the voice of a generation. -- Elizabeth Gilbert, author of Eat, Pray, Love
Gannon offers a fresh perspective from which readers can begin to see their own paths to joyful, fulfilling lives. -- Martha Beck, author of Finding Your Own North Star
