Book Description
Writing begins before students even pick up a pencil, but there are many reasons to stop and rejoice between the idea and the finished project. By helping students celebrate each stage of the writing process and applauding success, we help our students persevere through what can be an extended and challenging process. In their innovative new book, Celebrating Writers , Ruth Ayres and Christi Overman discuss dozens of ways to respond, reflect, and rejoice along the journey to a finished project. This type of celebration nurtures students, makes them better writers, and helps them recognize that writing is a process filled with notable moments, not simply a result where publication is the only marker of success. From traveling notebooks to lunch-table writing, from author interviews with a writing partner to silent reflection, from swapping stories around a campfire to tweeting favorite lines, Ruth and Christi share dozens of fun and effective ways for you and your students to commemorate their progress as writers. As the authors write, It's time to expand the idea of celebration to include the process of writers and the products they create. Let's build an approach that weaves celebration into the heart of all writers. Be ready to learn to refuel the writers in your classroom, even on the tough days.

Book Description
This book is the result of the “Italian Diaspora Studies Writing Seminar” that took place in May 2019, in Calabria and Basilicata. The program was launched by the Italian Diaspora Studies Association, in conjunction with the Department of Humanities at the University of Calabria, with the support of the U.S. Consulate General of Naples, and the patronages of the Canadian Embassy of Rome and the Italian Cultural Institute of Montreal (CA). The program was aimed at establishing a broad transnational perspective on the Italian diaspora through a community-based writing program, characterized by the mission of focusing on the South of Italy and on the importance of material culture and of historical heritage that can be experienced only by visiting specific locales of the diaspora.

Book Description
In this book, Kyabram Town Hall Writers' Group has compiled original works by forty-four writers and twelve artists from the local and wider community, who used memory, experience, knowledge and imagination to conjure up ninety ways of Celebrating Women.Both written pieces and art works dip into the range of the human condition from birth to death - love, hate, joy, sorrow, tragedy, success, anger, revenge, despair and depression, courage, strength, humour, gratitude, wonder, mystery, the earthy and the spiritual, inspiration, introspection, grit and duty, choice and change, yesterday, today and tomorrow - and that's only part of what half the world's population is about.Opening up the project beyond the writers' group gave the whole community the chance to exercise its voice in any genre, any theme, provided the focus maintained a substantial reference to any aspect of the female condition. Celebrating Women as a title emerged naturally as the contributions began to trickle in. The stories in prose and verse cut across the spectrum of subject matter and arrived in a variety of styles and writing experience. This was not a competition but rather a chance for anyone to speak up and we wanted to give every contributor the opportunity to be published. The technicalities of wordsmithing were not to stop anyone - such things could be taken care of with a bit of coordination. We aimed and succeeded at ensuring that every writer would be represented in the book at least once and their work makes up Section One. To add interest, the KTH writers teamed their skills with those of the Kyabram Town Hall's resident art exhibitors, Splinter Contemporary Artists Inc. Section Two of the book contains written works by the KTH writers inspired by artworks in the Splinters' Feminart Exhibition. The Splinters' artworks make up Section Three.The result is that Celebrating Women is more than a book - it is a cross-arts collaboration by writers and artists showing the wealth of talent in the community just waiting to be tapped. We trust this book of grassroots experience gives some joy to the reader.

Book Description
Write and Transform your Reality The mind of a successful writer is a different country. A realm of beauty and terror, a place of creativity and happiness and sadness. Today, we celebrate the lives and work of thousands of such authors, and learn more about these special, immortal minds. 1. They all have the ability to express what they feel like no one else can. Whether a writer uses complex words or simple, everyday phrases, he or she is able to bring the emotions and feelings that are inherent within all of us to being on a page, and this is a very rare trait. 2. They all have strong imaginations. A successful writer is able to paint with words and evoke images of new worlds, universes, and realities. Especially when we have all been stuck at home in the recent past, a good book is a way for our minds to travel across both space and time, and experience worlds that we have never seen and never will see. 3. They can look at life from a different perspective. A million people who are not published authors can look at something, and feel that it is a boring slice of everyday existence, and ignore it. However, a good writer can elevate the mundane to the sublime, and find magic in things that everybody knows about, but that nobody else is able to make special. The puzzles in this book deal with hundreds and hundreds of legendary literary figures; they will also introduce you to some of their most famous works. Some of the writers you will read about are very prominent, and everyone knows them; some are more obscure, and you will be able to use this book partly as a book discovery tool; as a virtual book club or reading list, if you will! By the end, your mind will have had a thorough workout, and you will have discovered a few new intriguing literature creators to check out. Libraries and bookstores - whether online or offline - are slowly opening again. I wish you the best.
