University of Alberta Press An Anthology of Modern Ukrainian Drama
Book SynopsisThis book is the first extensive anthology of modern Ukrainian drama to be published in English. It is an insightful textbook and invaluable source of information for students of Ukrainian literature in English-speaking countries. Dr. Onyshkevych developed the idea for this collection while teaching Ukrainian literature at Rutgers University, New Jersey. In preparing a course on Ukrainian drama in translation, she discovered that only a few Ukrainian plays had ever been translated into English. Consequently Dr. Onyshkevych started planning and compiling an anthology of the translated plays of a number of modern Ukrainian authors for use as a university textbook.

Frontinus Ltd Teaching Creative Writing: Practical Approaches
Book SynopsisTeaching Creative Writing is designed to showcase practical approaches developed by practitioners in the ever-growing community of writers in higher education. Aimed at enabling those who teach the subject to review, borrow, and adapt ideas, the emphasis throughout is on diversity. Contributions from an international team of writers cover a variety of forms and genres and include traditional and innovative components of creative writing courses.Trade ReviewThis book is a compilation of writing exercises from creative writing teachers all over the world, and is aimed at 'enabling' other teachers to 'review, borrow and adapt ideas' for their own practice. This text is logically and accessibly organised with each contributor introducing and detailing their exercise over a few pages, with a clear explanation of the exercise's structure and objective. Each passage is contextualised by its author's completion of the first exercise in the book, namely Elaine Walker's 'ice-breaker' exercise; this she uses as a 'getting to know you' activity for new classes. Though this is not quite a 'how to write' book, and not quite a 'how to teach writing' book, it indirectly offers useful insights into both of these practices whilst primarily acting as a 'go to' book for new and experienced teachers who need original ideas on how to create and structure writing exercises in imaginative and purposeful ways. This is not the kind of book you read cover to cover, and one of its most useful aspects is its 'Thematic Index' which allows readers to identify exercises that cater for a particular need ('Confidence Building and Ice Breakers', 'Developing Writing Practice'), a particular genre ('Flash Fiction', 'Food Writing', 'Song Writing'), a particular skill ('Editing and Redrafting', 'Creating Structure in Short Stories'), or a particular student level ('New Students', 'All Stages', 'Confident Writers'). This index also allows readers to quickly identify exercises of a particular time-duration, with activities ranging from less than an hour to several weeks. As I used this index to locate exercises that I might find useful in my own classes - especially those classes that did not work out as well as I'd hoped - what struck me most was just how much we ask of our students. It is so easy to come up with an activity for someone else to do, but - by positioning teachers on the receiving-end of teaching - this text reminds us just how intense, confronting and difficult writing classes can be for students. It is a definite strength of this book that it emphasises the care and clarity needed for good teaching, with its detailed contributions acting as model lesson-plans. Without stating it, this text reminds teachers to keep out of the classroom until they know what they are doing and, most importantly, why they are doing it. The exercises in this book vary widely, and most could be easily adapted to suit a range of student needs and backgrounds. Martyn Bedford's exercise 'Travel writing - from classroom to Khartoum' illustrates how ostensibly simple activities such as basic note-taking, memory exercises, discussion, and the strategic use of secondary sources, can help students move in two hours from questioning the value of their own experiences to establishing the foundations of a substantial piece of writing. Diana Chin-a-Fat helps students 'get into character' by asking them to imagine past the public personas of celebrities in order to delve imaginatively into the deeper darker secrets that might lurk in their minds. By producing monologues and sharing them, her students learn about perceptions, assumptions, public personas and the credibility of voice. Allene Nichols combats student shyness and perfectionism by getting them to 'write a bad poem'. In the process she teaches them to embrace - as all writers must - writing 'badly', whilst also teaching them the 'vocabulary' of poetry that will enable them to both write and critique poetry in the future. Ian Williams focuses on the long-term skills his students will need by helping them to establish a 'daily writing habit'. He gets his 'young warriors' to post a new poem on an interactive online forum everyday for 30 days. Steve May also uses technology to re-envision traditional workshopping methods in the belief that paper print-outs give students a false sense of completion with their work. He finds collaborative editing onscreen assists students to shed preciousness and recognise writing as an ongoing process. He notes how onscreen work can allow classes to write collaboratively or even edit the published works of famous writers. Other contributors use yoga and meditation to ease students into writing tasks, or conjure 'creative mayhem' by getting students to collaborate in the writing of manifestos, or guide students in their struggle to create credible narrative voices for children. As all these examples suggest, the exercises in this text are applicable for student writers at any level of experience and across a range of genres. Nearly all of the activities have been structured with an acute awareness that student writers need a relaxed and trusting classroom atmosphere in order to gain skill and confidence with their work, and most contributors seem equally aware that the best way to get students writing is to focus them on 'process' rather than 'product'. Teaching Creative Writing is obviously well suited to teachers of poetry, fiction, non-fiction, and plays. It offers a practical resource for teachers who are just starting out and lack the confidence or ideas required to create truly engaging classes. This book might even be useful for experienced teachers who suspect that their own methods have become repetitive and uninspiring, or who sense complacency creeping in to their classrooms through the stultifying effects of their own habits. Less obviously, this text has value for teachers because it emphasises and models the care required to structure classes in an engaging and purposeful manner. The book may even benefit creative writers themselves, for its huge bank of activities offer a means for writers to recover from writer's block, by providing defamiliarising writing tasks.

Frontinus Ltd Rethinking Creative Writing in Higher Education:
Book SynopsisBlurb: In this passionate, iconoclastic, survey of Creative Writing as an academic discipline, Stephanie Vanderslice provides a provocative critique of existing practice. She challenges enduring myths surrounding creative writing - not least, that writers learn most from workshops. Through case studies of best practice from America and elsewhere, Vanderslice provides a vision of change, showing how undergraduate and postgraduate programs can be reformed to re-engage with contemporary culture. Abstract: Creative writing as a discipline is a victim of its own success. The discipline needs now to demythogize and revitalize itself. Undergraduate and graduate programs need to be further differentiated. Programs over-reliant on the traditional creative writing workshop, with its focus on craft and on building community, are ill equipped to prepare students for the new realities of the creative economy. Programs need not only to improve the workshop experience of students, but also employ a more diverse, outward-looking, outcomes-oriented pedagogy and to make a more direct contribution to the development of a literate society.Much can be learnt from good practice; including distinctive and visionary programs; developed on both sides of the Atlantic and in Australia. Key terms: creative writing; literacy; pedagogy; programs; reflective; reform; teaching; visionary; workshop.Trade Review'This is a brave, serious, passionate and entertaining book' - Dr Steve May, Bath Spa University, UK '[An] excellent resource for ideas, for inspiration, and for sources on aspects of pedagogy for creative writing programs' - Kevin Brophy, Text: Journal of Writing and Writing Courses (Vol. 16, No. 1), text@textjournal.com.au 'This thoroughly researched, beautifully written, and altogether important book' - Erika Dreifus, Practicing Writing blog (www.erikadreifus.com).Table of ContentsFront matter: Table of Contents; Imprint information and credits; Abstract; Series information; Foreword by Dr Steve May Chapter One: Creative Writing in Higher Education: Reflection, Innovation, Accountability Notes from the Field: Storming the Garret Chapter Two: Undergraduate Creative Writing Programs Notes from the Field: Grasping Ariadne's Thread: Wendy Bishop's Stories and My Own Chapter Three: Graduate Creative Writing Programs: Creative Writing Comes of Age Notes from the Field: Once More to the Workshop: A Myth Caught in Time Chapter Four: Workshopping the Workshop Notes from the Field: A Place to Start Chapter Five: Creative Writing Programs in the World Afterword: Looking Inward and Outward Appendix End matter: Acknowledgements; References; Index

Frontinus Ltd Creative Writing: Writers on Writing
Book SynopsisCreative Writing: Writers on Writing anthologises original literary work by eight contemporary authors; Amal Chatterjee, Colm Breathnach, Fred D'Aguiar, Jane Draycott, Philip Gross, Kathryn Heyman, Sabyn Javeri, and Emily Raboteau. Dealing with birth and death, love and ambition, domestic drama and foreign adventure, they take the reader to the country (Ireland, Guyana, England) and to the city (Delhi, Karachi, New York and Prague). The pieces are accompanied by reflective essays in which the authors explore the creative process behind the writing. For readers, the essays provide insights into the works themselves; for writers, they provide insights into literary craft; and for students on creative writing courses, they provide diverse models of how to discuss one's own writing.Trade Review'Diverse work of a very high standard ... each author offers a model for the kind of reflective materials which is required of degrees, but, hopefully more than that, is a means to a greater understanding of a writer's own interests, ambitions and achievements' - Paul Wright, Writing in EducationTable of ContentsAbstract Editor's preface 1.

Frontinus Ltd Researching Creative Writing
Book SynopsisIn this learned but practical book, Jen Webb shows how 'research practices can invigorate writing; creative practices can invigorate research; and - if properly organised and managed - creative writing can operate as a mode of knowledge generation, a way of exploring problems and answering questions that matter in our current context'. Researching creative writing enables writer-researchers to craft a toolkit that will help them produce better creative work and more rigorous research work.Trade Review"This book is going to be become an important book. It is a joy to read, whether dipping in or reading the whole thing, because it is learned yet accessible without being patronising. A difficult balance to achieve by anyone. The text deals with some very complex ideas relating to practice driven research embedded within creativity and criticality." - Dr. Vanessa Harbour (http://chaosmos-outofchaoscomesorder.blogspot.co.uk/) // "This is a book that has the potential to help creative writers 'make knowledge festive' in the process of creating their research projects. It is structured logically so as to make for optimal comprehension. It is superbly written and gives exciting examples of writers and books that illustrate the process of researching creative writing and writing as research. A book to which I shall refer repeatedly and which I highly recommend not only for tertiary students doing higher research degrees, or academics, but for all writers interested in research as part of the process of their practice." - Sue Bond, The Compulsive Reader (http://www.compulsivereader.com/) // Any reviewer would be hard-pressed to find flaws or omissions in this impressive, scholarly work...Overall, Researching Creative Writing is lucidly-written, logically-structured, and convincingly argued. It offers a concise overview of the field and creative-critical discourse. It is a lighthouse in the pea soup surrounding practice-based research, and as such is useful and welcome." - Kevan Manwaring, Writing in EducationTable of ContentsAbstract; 1 Chapter 1: An introduction - What is research?; PART 1: Designing the research; Chapter 2 - Finding a project; Chapter 3 - The epistemological preliminaries; Chapter 4 - The craft of research; PART 2: Doing research; Chapter 5 - Writing as research; Chapter 6 - Research and other people; Chapter 7 - Research and the environment; PART 3: From materials to the published work; Chapter 8 - Managing the material; Chapter 9 - Writing and telling; Acknowledgements; References; Glossary of key terms; Index

These are followed by contributions from typographer Jeremy Tankard, whose unique 'Redisturbed' typeface is used throughout this book, and artist Rika Newcombe, who provides the cover image.

CONNELL PUBLISHING LTD How to Write Well
Book SynopsisWriting matters. We all do it, and we all admire it when it’s done well. It doesn’t just express us; it represents us. We write to connect with other people – to make them laugh, or cry, or think. We also write to work out what we think ourselves: there’s nothing like it for concentrating the mind. So what’s the secret of a stylish essay, or story, or email? How do you make your sentences sparkle? Dorothy Parker had a point when she said that writing “is the art of applying the ass to the seat”, but in this slim volume, a leading editor who is also a pop critic and sportswriter shows you much fun you can have while sharpening your pen. Tim de Lisle’s book is packed with good, simple advice: be clear, be concise, be vivid, be organised. In a few breezy chapters, he explains the secrets of good writing, and along the way he quotes dozens of great lines, from the plays of Shakespeare to the journalism of Caitlin Moran. “Writ

Nightboat Books A body, in spite: a slight philosophy for actors
Book SynopsisPhilosopher-playwright Alain Jugnon’s a body, in spite introduces this prolific French author to an English-speaking readership. The aphorisms that comprise this slight philosophy for actors are an inventoried body with and without its defenses. With incisive humor, Jugnon casts his intellect into the many-organed world, to draw from its semantic recesses a sort of divine putrescence. This work, written for the stage, and received as a presage, reads like an autobiography of Nietzsche’s last laugh. This bilingual edition features an afterword by the translator.Trade Review"This book should be engaged by scholars willing to think about religion in and as theater, as well as philosophically inclined students of religion longing to play and think alongside Nietzsche and Artaud, with their delirious philosophizing and atheological rants. Jugnon's book represents a path--a wildly deliquescing path--for engaging the theater as a site of religious spectacle in a world forever reeling from the death of God."--Jeremy Biles "Wiley Online Library"

Book SynopsisThis book provides a new understanding of fictocriticism -- a genre stemming from metafiction, écriture feminine, and postmodernism -- via original creative and experimental writing devoted to the issue of the contemporary self, offering a reinvigoration of fictocriticism as a writing strategy. Cholewa explores questions surrounding what fictocriticism is and what it can do, and the essential paradox between theories surrounding fictocriticism suggesting how freeform it is, yet how non-freeform and chameleonic it still seems to be due to its lack of theoretical rules. Evaluating fictocriticism as both an art form and as a vehicle for higher theory and criticism, he offers and proposes further academic attention across a plethora of sociocultural, artistic, scientific, educational, political, and historical fields. Propelled by the work(s) of Roland Barthes, the godfather of fictocriticism, the ultimate goal of this research and text is to provide new and expanded reading tools that both explain the subjectivity and context of fictocritical writings and simultaneously innovate on the form.Trade ReviewThe work engages one through its sense of energy and commitment, its comic tone and style, and its heightened self-awareness.

Beacon Press Writing as a Way of Healing How Telling Our
Book SynopsisIn this inspiring book, based on her twenty years of research, highly acclaimed author and teacher Louise DeSalvo reveals the healing power of writing. DeSalvo shows how anyone can use writing as a way to heal the emotional and physical wounds that are an inevitable part of life. Contrary to what most self-help books claim, just writing won't help you; in fact, there's abundant evidence that the wrong kind of writing can be damaging. DeSalvo's program is based on the best available and most recent scientific studies about the efficacy of using writing as a restorative tool. With insight and wit, she illuminates how writers, from Virginia Woolf to Henry Miller to Audre Lorde to Isabel Allende, have been transformed by the writing process. Writing as a Way of Healing includes valuable advice and practical techniques to guide and inspire both experienced and beginning writers.

Book SynopsisTruth Is the Arrow, Mercy Is the Bow is one of the best books on writing I've ever read. It's also the funniest by a country mile. Richard Russo, author of the North Bath trilogyThe long-awaited craft book from Steve Almond, based on three decades of writing, failing, and trying again.In Truth is the Arrow, Mercy is the Bow, Steve Almond shares the insights gleaned from three decades as a beloved teacher and mentor, and a considerably less-beloved literary rabble rouser. His tone is irreverent. His ideas are iconoclastic. And his approach is stubbornly, radically, empathic. The goal is to explode the well-meaning but misguided myths that hold us back from writing our deepest and most honest work, to awaken the joys of storytelling while also confronting how grueling the process can be. Truth features chapters on plot, character, and chronology, but travels far beyond the earnest aims of most creative writing books, with essay

Nigella Lawson 'Sharp and engrossing' Roxane Gay As the bookish daughter of a travelling salesman, Jami Attenberg was drawn to the road. Her wanderlust led her to drive solo across America, and eventually on travels around the globe, embracing - for better and worse - all the messy life she encountered along the way. As she travelled she was crafting, grafting and honing her work, piecing together a living and career, and wrestling with a deep longing for independence while also searching for community, and eventually, a place she might want to stay in for good. This remarkable memoir reveals the defining moments that pushed her to create a life, and voice, she could claim for herself. Exploring themes of friendship, independence, class and drive, I Came All This Way to Meet You is an inspiring and singular story of living the creative life, and finding one's way home.Trade ReviewI Came All This Way to Meet You is a love story; it shows us a way to love art and our lives and our souls...It's Eat Pray Love for Nick Cave fans -- Emily Flake, New Yorker cartoonist and author of That Was AwkwardA wise and witty glimpse behind the travels and travails of one of our most beloved contemporary novelists ... brims with humour, humility, pathos, and intelligence.

Business Science Reference Teaching Academic Writing as a
Book SynopsisIt is now held that writing influences and is influenced by the discipline where it occurs. The representations that writers employ to produce and comprehend texts are said to be sensitive to the specificities of their disciplinary discourse communities. This exposes writers to divergent disciplinary demands and expectations on what counts as good and appropriate writing in terms of generic structure, discourse features, and stylistic preferences, reflecting dissimilar practices. Because of such exigencies, academic writing seems at times to be very challenging, especially for novice scholars. Thus, any attempt to perceive the function of academic writing in higher education or to evaluate its quality should not discard the shaping force of the disciplines.Teaching Academic Writing as a Discipline-Specific Skill in Higher Education is a critical scholarly resource that examines the role of writing within academic circles and the disciplinary practices of writing in scholastic environments. The book will also explore the particular difficulties that confront writers in the disciplines as well as the endeavors of educational institutions to develop discipline-specific writing traditions among practicing and novice scholars. Featuring a range of topics such as blended learning, data interpretation, and knowledge construction, this book is essential for instructors, academicians, administrators, professors, researchers, and students.

Jessica Kingsley Publishers Writing Works: A Resource Handbook for
Book SynopsisThe use of creative writing as a route to personal development is a powerful therapeutic tool - a fact that is recognized in the growing numbers of workshops and writing groups within professional contexts, including clinical, health and criminal justice settings.Writing Works is a guide for writers or therapists working with groups or individuals and is full of practical advice on everything from the equipment needed to run a session to ideas for themes, all backed up by the theory that underpins the methods explained. Experienced practitioners in the field contribute detailed illuminating accounts of organizing writing workshops for a wide range of different clients, together with examples of their outcomes.This book will be an invaluable start-up reference for arts therapists and professionals working across the health, social care and caring professions, and one that will be referred to again and again.Trade ReviewThis is an important resource for anyone who runs writing workshops and a delightful, unputdownable adventure - yes, really! - for anyone who thinks it matters that writing works... I loved the chapters on place and objects, although, as before, I am not looking for overtly 'therapeutic' outcomes. I delight in the recognition of the importance of doing worthwhile, satisfying work. The authors clearly believe that a rigorous attitude to quality is in no way in conflict with catharsis and discovery. I loved the succinctness of the accounts “This is what I wanted to do. This is what happened”. I read this book as I read many creative writing handbooks: as a total immersion experience in a familiar but stimulating pool; a pool that refreshes, relaxes, buoys me up, gives me opportunities for vigorous exercise. -- Lapidus QuarterlyThe subheading explains what Writing Works is all about: A resource handbook for therapeutic writing workshops and activities.The use of creative writing as a route to personal development is a powerful and therapeutic tool, and therapeutic writing groups are run not only by writers but also by health professionals, occupational therapists and nurses as well as social workers of various kinds. And these groups will often take place in community centres, hospitals, schools, homes for the elderly and rehabilitation centres. This is a highly specialised field in which group leaders will encourage participants to use writing (as the book puts it) 'to explore themselves and their situations, and to express what they think or feel'. The practical aspects of running such a group are explained in the early chapters, and there are also plenty of suggestions for writing exercises that can be set and explored in group sessions. Typical exercises would involve allowing an inanimate object to 'speak' and to write down what it says, using published poems as a springboard for therapeutic writing, and using writing to explore the ways in which group members believe they are perceived by others. -- Writers MagazineThree editors; but – including these three – forty nine contributors. Is it this number and variety of voices which makes Writing Works not merely interesting, but satisfying. It is a collection of simple, sound and enthusiastic advice about using writing as therapy, and it is all the better for spelling out what might be taken for granted.- the importance of the organization, context, location amenities needed before even beginning to work with those who are writing to learn about themselves….Writing works contains many exercises and activity which any creative writing teacher could use with success. In fact, although this is a handbook for therapists, is has a great deal to teach us about how we think through what we are doing, and why, in any writing course/class/workshop. It is also extremely readable, and edited in such a skilful way that it feels as if there is one editor, rather than three. The tone is reassuring, consistent, warm – and a real testament to the work of Lapidus as an organization, as well as the sensitivity of the teachers who contributed... Every NAWE member should buy this book. -- NAWE NEWS- Supplement to Writing in EducationThe book is full of vignettes from practitioners' experiences of using creative writing in many different ways to bring about therapeutic expression or catharsis. It is presented as a resource handbook for therapeutic writing workshops and activities, and as such contains many interesting approaches and ideas for running successful therapeutic groups…It would be an excellent resource for ideas and developing skills for experienced occupational therapists in mental health and educational settings. -- British Journal of Occupational TherapyTable of ContentsForeword by Blake Morrison.

Harvard University Press The Work of Revision
Book SynopsisRevision seems to be an intrinsic part of good writing. But Hannah Sullivan argues that we inherit our faith in redrafting from the modernist period. Examining changes made in manuscripts, typescripts, and proofs by Eliot, Joyce, Woolf, and others, she shows how rewriting shapes literary style, and how the impulse to touch up can go too far.Trade Review[Sullivan] reminds us of the laborious transformations that can occur before and after publication, and the mixed fortunes of those who revise and revise again… Provocative, timely and a welcome contribution to the study of Modernist writing, The Work of Revision goes to great lengths to show just how difficult it can be to elucidate the social life of texts whose use and meaning remain a work in progress. -- William Viney * Times Literary Supplement *A truly remarkable new book… [A] subtle, nuanced argument. -- Alan Jacobs * Books & Culture *An outstanding piece of scholarship, The Work of Revision valuably offers broad, comparative treatment, fascination with the complex process of revision, and rich, detailed analysis of manuscripts and versions. Sullivan has a knack for elucidating intricate matter, without ever losing the bigger picture or getting lost in overwhelming detail. -- Wim Van Mierlo * Time Present *In Hannah Sullivan’s impressively researched first book, revisions become a ‘figure for modernism’—particularly for London-y High Moderns: from Henry James’ embroidered sentences to Ezra Pound’s minimalist poetics and surgery to The Waste Land; from Ulysses’ volcanic additions to Virginia Woolf’s traumatized self-portraits. Hardly is a mark unremarked-upon; even Pound’s colon from In a Station of the Metro is probed… Sullivan persuasively claims that Modern revising was radical, experimental, visible and self-conscious. -- David Gewanter * Times Higher Education *Sullivan’s prose is clear and elegant. Even when immersed in the particulars of genetic history, The Work of Revision is highly engaging… Because of its impressive breadth and approachable style, this project will appeal to many. -- Emily James * Woolf Studies Annual *Despite its sober title, there is nothing dry or dusty about Hannah Sullivan’s fascinating investigation of the work of revision in modernist writing. On the contrary her book often reads like a detective story, as the author brings her formidable learning and literary subtlety to bear on both the details of revision and their theoretical ramifications. Written with clarity and verve, this is a dazzling study that makes a powerful case for the necessity, but also for the pleasures, of genetic and textual criticism. -- Maud Ellmann, University of ChicagoHannah Sullivan’s The Work of Revision offers a groundbreaking account of the theoretical typology of revision in literature and more specifically of the relation between revision and literary structure in modernist literature from Henry James to David Foster Wallace. Consolidating a great deal of recent textual, genetic, and critical study of modern literature, it brings back into the critical conversation priceless materials that too often have been allowed to play a supporting role in twentieth century commentaries. -- Ron Bush, University of OxfordSullivan has written a superb book, tracing the fortunes of literary revision from Henry James at the end of the nineteenth century to David Foster Wallace at the beginning of the twenty-first. Although it draws on genetic studies of individual writers, its focus is on the bigger story of shifts in the way literary works have been written, shaped by the changes both in technology and in conceptions of the literary project itself. Original, illuminating, and extremely readable, The Work of Revision is very timely, as we enter a new phase in the history of literary production; for the first time, we can look back, as Sullivan does, to the era of the typewriter as having an end as well as a beginning. -- Derek Attridge, University of YorkLike the writers she analyzes, Sullivan ‘makes it new’ in this revisionist history of literary revision. We all know that the high modernists were incessant revisers of their work. What we didn’t know, until now, was the centrality of revision not only to the composition process but also to the diverse forms and content that emerge from it. The Work of Revision offers both a new critical language and a new history of print culture. We can’t see modernism in the same way again. -- Gavin Jones, Stanford University

Broadview Press Ltd Write Here: Developing Writing Skills in a
Book SynopsisWrite Here is designed to teach students essential reading and writing skills, using media examples to help explain academic concepts and provide opportunities for practice. It is adaptable; because it covers the basics of reading, writing, and the modes of writing, it is appropriate to use in developmental composition classrooms. However, it also covers such topics as logical fallacies, rhetoric, timed writing, academic writing, source integration, and MLA/APA documentation, making it appropriate for a first-year or 'stretch' composition course. Many beginning writing students are underprepared and feel that writing just 'isn't for them.' The authors hope to dispel that myth by using media examples and a conversational tone to introduce and teach the material. Write Here provides examples that are interesting to students, while allowing them to connect to the subject matter on a more personal level - additionally, the process of analyzing the media helps students sharpen their reading, writing, and critical thinking skills.Trade ReviewWe need this book in the composition market because it offers a new, refreshing perspective. The authors have a comprehensive understanding of students, their interests, and their needs, and they have created an extremely student-friendly book. Current research in rhetoric/composition tells us that our ultimate goal in freshman writing should be for our students to be able to evaluate their own communication skills as they move through their composition courses, and this is exactly what Randi Brummett de Leon and Brooke Hughes have accomplished at the end of each of their chapters in ‘Assessing Your Knowledge.’ This is a brilliant feature of the book that puts the students in charge of their own learning. Congratulations on an excellent new contribution to the field!" —Kim Flachmann, California State University, Bakersfield"This book covers a wide range of topics, with plentiful examples drawn mostly from student writing or from a variety of media sources. It provides valuable guides for developing a rhetorical understanding of media sources and critical media literacy skills; this section of the book is the most detailed and engaging, and the book will be most useful in classes in which most of the work revolves around such non-traditionally-academic sources. The explicit and detailed way in which it links reading and writing is also a welcome feature, as is the discussion of sentence-level issues that concludes the volume." —Michael Kaler, University of Toronto Mississauga"Write Here aims to boost student writers’ confidence by connecting the strategies used to read and analyze social media and popular culture with the reading, analysis, and writing processes required by first-year composition courses. De Leon and Hughes connect the elements of academic writing commonly taught in those courses¾reading and writing as processes, argumentative appeals and fallacies, essay structures, documentation, sentence grammar¾to the competencies students already possess. I particularly appreciate the clear and accessible approach to sentence grammar, which usefully explains both basic patterns and common errors." —Noel Currie, Langara College"In our fast-paced, social-media-soaked society, students read more words each day than prior generations, which makes the skills they learn in courses—rhetorical analysis, synthesis, how to evaluate sources, etc.—more important than ever as they navigate a landscape in which conspiracy theories thrive alongside peer-reviewed research articles. This is where Write Here shines. In addition to providing exceptional academic reading and writing strategies, de Leon and Hughes have culled relevant readings that are simultaneously complex and accessible, fresh and enduring—many of which are poised to become the timeless standards of future textbooks. Armed with Write Here, students and instructors alike will be better equipped to read, reflect, and respond in an ever-changing world." —Crystal Huddleston, Taft CollegeTable of Contents Chapter 1: Welcome to Write Here Part I: Connecting Reading & Writing Before You Read Chapter 2: Reading Chapter 3: Writing: The Writing Process Chapter 4: Writing: Parts of the Essay Chapter 5: Parallels Between Reading and Writing Skills Chapter 6: What are Modes of Writing?
