Oxford University Press Inc Writing Alone and with Others
Book SynopsisFor more than a quarter of a century, Pat Schneider has helped writers find and liberate their true voices. She has taught all kinds--the award winning, the struggling, and those who have been silenced by poverty and hardship. Her innovative methods have worked in classrooms from elementary to graduate level, in jail cells and public housing projects, in convents and seminaries, in youth at-risk programs, and with groups of the terminally ill. Now, in Writing Alone and with Others, Schneider''s acclaimed methods are available in a single, well-organized, and highly readable volume. The first part of the book guides the reader through the perils of the solitary writing life: fear, writer''s block, and the bad habits of the internal critic. In the second section, Schneider describes the Amherst Writers and Artists workshop method, widely used across the U.S. and abroad. Chapters on fiction and poetry address matters of technique and point to further resources, while more than a hundred writing exercises offer specific ways to jumpstart the blocked and stretch the rut-stuck. Schneider''s innovative teaching method will refresh the experienced writer and encourage the beginner. Her book is the essential owner''s manual for the writer''s voice.Trade Review"Schneider's book is inspiring, full of common sense about fears every writer will recognize and exercises for jump-starting a manuscript. She is well acquainted with naysayers, external and internal. A storyteller, poet, librettist who once struggled to believe in herself, she sees teaching as a mission, writing as empowerment. She's led four workshops a week (one in a low-income project) for 12 years; she explains here how to lead your own. Writing Alone is as much an antidote to writer's block as you're likely to find between two covers: Writing teachers will use it as their bible."--C. Carr, O: The Oprah Magazine"Drawing on her many years of working with writers and would-be writers in workshops, Schneider has authored a useful and comprehensive text for the creative writer seeking to find his or her own voice and authority. Starting with the need to overcome fear, anxiety, and nagging of the relentless self-critic within us, Schneider provides some practical exercises to get the writing process started (again) and to avoid the pitfalls of internal and external criticism. Citing the experience of the hundreds of writers to privilege their own writing despite the distractions they face, to keep a writing journal, and to participate in a writing community with other writers. More than movitivational or purely experiential, this very sensible yet practical text provides scores of proven exercises to help encourage the writer in all of us."--Library Journal"The wisest teacher of writing I know."--Peter Elbow, from the Foreword"I am grateful to Pat Schneider for recognizing that our species is a writing species. If we don't write, it means something in the culture has blocked our natural instinct. [This] helpful, totally personable book shows us how to undo that cultural abuse."--Carol Bly, author of Beyond the Writer's Workshop and My Lord Bag of Rice: New and Selected Stories"Honesty is creative oxygen. Generosity is creative fire. Pat Schneider is a fuse lighter. Her work is gentle, playful, brilliant, and revolutionary. She is the real animal."--Julia Cameron, author of The Right to Write and The Artist's Way"For anyone who wants to write, Writing Alone and with Others is heartening and practical. It unfolds as the story of one writer's journey, and invites the aspiring writer along with a rich variety of anecdote, exercise and advice, celebrating both difference and difficulty as the gifts they are."--Janet Burroway, author of Raw Silk and Writing Fiction"Schneider can help you find your genius. She encourages without ever condescending. She is guide, cheerleader, and advocate. 'What you see, write it,' she counsels. 'Surprise yourself.' You'll find exercises here that will help you do it. The second part of the book, focusing on 'writing with others,' can help the workshop leader or teacher create the kind of atmosphere in which 'images pass in silence from mind to mind,' as writers are affirmed and energized by experiencing creativity, their own and others'."--Marshall J. Cook, author and editor of Creativity Connection"An entertaining and enlightening book...should prove invaluable to poets, writers, teachers, and workshop devotees of all backgrounds and creative denominations."-- Mindy Kronenberg, poet and teacher, author of Dismantling the Playground and editor of Book/Mark Small Press Quarterly ReviewTable of ContentsContents ; Foreword by Peter Elbow ; Acknowledgments ; How to Use This Book ; Introduction: A Writer Is Someone Who Writes ; Part I: The Writer Alone ; 1.

Starting with first principles, it buildsability through exercises at each stage and a structured progression to more complex issues like interviews, data, science and business. With contributions from leading journalism teachers and professional journalists it is a timely update of previous introductions taking full account of the digital transition in newsrooms and the expectations from employers of multimedia competence. At a time when journalists are under scrutiny for their professionalism and high standards are at a premium it offers an excellent introduction to key skills for those entering the business." Richard Sambrook, Professor of Journalism and Director of the Centre for Journalism at Cardiff Univeristy, formerly Director of Global News at the BBC"In the summer of 2018, when we, a group of mainly print and TV journalists at The Telegraph India and other brands of India’s top media group ABP were struggling to adjust to a native digital newsroom, Matt came to our rescue. His clear vision of how to approach a multimedia story was immensely beneficial. This book is an extension of those practical tips. A much needed book for both journalists and journalism educators. I have used many of Matt’s tips like how to approach a feature, decide on multimedia content among others in my class and my students found them interesting. The real-life examples and exercises through out the book adds much value to it. It also covers a wide spectrum of journalistic writing which sets the principles of journalism straight." Sambit Pal, Assistant Professor at the Indian Institute of Mass Communications, formerly journalist at The Telegraph India"Early in my career I would have loved to be able to draw on the diverse, rigorous advice you’ll find in these pages, and even now I found so much in here to challenge and encourage."

Taylor & Francis Ltd Female Playwrights and Applied Intersectionality
Book SynopsisIn this collection, the author focuses on several contemporary Romanian female playwrights with residencies in Europe and the U.S.: Alexandra Badea, Carmen-Francesca Banciu, Alexa Bacanu, Ana Sorina Corneanu, Mihaela Dragan, Dr. Catalina Florina Florescu, Dr. Mihaela Michailov, Dr. Domnica Radulescu, Saviana Stanescu, and Dr. Elise Wilk.In their bold works, written by female playwrights who are academics, activists, and performers, we are invited to discover variations in the modus operandi of the dramatic language itself from metaphorical to matter-of-fact approaches. Furthermore, while all these playwrights speak Romanian, they also think and operate in various other languages, such as Romani, German, French, Italian, and American English.This book facilitates scholars and students to discover contemporary issues related to Romanian society as presented heavily from a feminine angle and to reveal intersectional issues as seen and applied to dramatic characters in a pTrade Review''Dr. Florescu’s focus on intersectionality in plays written by Romanian female playwrights is an admirable endeavor given both the scarcity of materials on Romanian cultural intersectionality and theater in general in the United States curricula. Not only are the ten plays included for discussion in this book a splendid sample of Romanian theater, but also the carefully structured analyses and activities, prefaced by photographs from performances, make this book a labor of love'' – Dr. Adriana Cordali author of Visual Rhetorics of Communist Romania: Life Under the Totalitarian Gaze''Designed as multilingual and multidimensional, this volume presents a series of plays by female artists who are deeply connected to Romania, Dr. Cătălina Florina Florescu’s native country. Their engagement with intersectionality becomes evident not only when discussed by Florescu, but also when the playwrights are given a selfless chance to reflect on their own works. Shining a bright light on the urgent political issues and innovatory theatrical strategies at the heart of these contemporary productions will definitely stir interest and debate, proving the timeliness of the current project.'' – Dr. Ludmila Martanovschi, Secretary of the Society for Multi-Ethnic Studies: Europe and the Americas (MESEA)''A compassionate and intimate exploration of female playwrights in Romanian theater presented to the global public through the lens of intersectionality as a tool for discernment of how the invisible power relations create inequality. Catalina Florescu masterfully uses her multifaceted roles as a woman, immigrant, mother, partner, author, and professor to examine the still vastly unexamined role female artists have in making intellectually stimulating art and leaving their beautifully diverse legacy on heteropatriarchy.'' – Mihaela Campion, Clinical licensed psychotherapist and ARCHER Founder (American Romanian Coalition of Human and Equal Rights)Table of ContentsForewordA Note Before Reading This VolumeChapter 1.
