Hello Everyone,
I have just submitted two books to help writers. "Room To Write:
daily invitations to a writer's life," By Bonni Goldberg, and "Tell It
Slant: writing and shaping creative nonfiction" By Brenda Miller and
Suzanne Paola. I have done a spell check on both, there are no headers to
remove, and all pages and copyright info are present. They should be easy
validations. I'll include the back covers to both below.
Happy reading, and writing.
Peace,
Mayrie

Reference/Writing
"Five stars for Tell It Slant. . . . An enlightening, comprehensive, and very
satisfying text on writing and shaping creative nonfiction."
Sheila Bender, editor and publisher of
writingitreal.com and author of Writing and Publishing Personal Essays
When the poet Emily Dickinson wrote, "Tell all the Truth but tell it
Slant," she provided
today's writers of creative nonfiction some sound advice: tell the truth
but don't become mere
transcribers of day-to-day life. Artistic truth offers a depth and
vibrancy that goes beyond the
everyday. But how do we, as writers, move beyond cold fact to create
elegant nonfiction that
makes the most of our individual "slant" on the world we live in?
The award-winning authors of Tell It Slant stretch your writing muscles as
they reveal the
specialized art of creative nonfiction. Whether you are writing a memoir,
researched essays,
or investigative reporting, the authors will guide you along your
journey, using intensive
instruction and an abundance of writing exercises to show you how to:
Gain access to your own memories
Look for material outside of yourself
Address ethical issues when writing about other people
Tackle (and enjoy) background research
Avoid cliches and discover fresh language
And keep the passion of writing alive
Brenda Miller has received four Pushcart Prizes for her work in creative
nonfiction.
Her essays have twice been selected as Notable Essays by The Best
American Essays
series, and her collection, Season of the Body, was a finalist for the
Pen American
Center Award in creative nonfiction. She is an associate professor of
English at
Western Washington University.
Suzanne Paola is a professor at Western Washington University and the author of
Body Toxic, a New York Times Notable Book and winner of the American Book
Award. She was awarded the Brittingham Prize for her third volume of
poetry, Bardo.
What the experts say about Room to Write
"A veritable treasure of information and inspiration."
Professor Lew Hunter,
screenwriter, producer, chair of the UCLA screenwriting
department, and author of Lew Hunter's Screenwriting 434
"Bonni Goldberg's invitations to write are funny, eye-popping, and wise.
Whether you've been writing for thirty years or are just starting out,
you'll find Room to Write a delicious experience."
Eric Maisel, Ph.D.,
author of Fearless Creating and A Life in the Arts
"Room to Write is like having a personal literary trainer."
Susan Shaughnessy,
author of Walking on Alligators: Meditations for Writers
"For amateurs and professionals as well as teachers of writing, this will
be an invaluable resource, especially during those dry periods when the
words aren't flowing, the muse seems to have vanished."
LUCIA CAPACCHIONE, author of The Creative Journal
and The Power of Your Other Hand
"Bonni Goldberg's personal experience gives this book authenticity and
heart; her guidance is inspired and absolutely clear. Dive into this book!"
JOHN FOX, author of Finding What You Didn't Lose:
Expressing Your Truth and Creativity Through Poem-Making
