For Gods sake, keep your eyes open. Notice whats going on around you. William S. Burroughs This step-by-step guide to the art and the craft of writing fiction is a refreshing blend of the practical (how to find an agent), with the more cerebral (how to handle point of view; the importance of rhythm). Throughout, Quick uses the hard-won experiences of his fellow novelists to give colour and depth to his own advice. Did you know, for instance, that Road Dahl wrote in a shed? That Nabokov composed his masterpieces on index cards? Or that most writers get their best work done in the mornings? Full of wit and lightly-worn erudition, 102 Ways to Write a Novel is an elegant, useful and even inspiring vade mecum. It will become a classic of its kind -- the book no writer of fiction should be without.

John Davidsons "A Practical Novelist" is an insightful treatise that delves into the intricate interplay between theory and practice in the craft of novel writing. Employing a conversational yet erudite tone, Davidson presents an eclectic synthesis of literary techniques, drawing upon the narrative styles of his contemporaries while also incorporating practical exercises designed to engage aspiring authors. Through an exploration of character development, plot construction, and thematic depth, Davidson offers valuable insights reflective of the late 19th-century literary context where realism began to dominate storytelling approaches. John Davidson (1857-1909) was a Scottish poet and playwright whose diverse literary background influenced his foray into novel writing. His experiences within the rapidly changing British literary scene during the Victorian era, including encounters with various literary movements and an array of genres, equipped him with a rich understanding of both the artistic and commercial facets of writing. This knowledge informs "A Practical Novelist," where Davidson presents comprehensive guidance for both seasoned writers and novices. This book is a compelling read for anyone interested in honing their narrative skills. Davidsons unique blend of practical advice and theoretical insights equips readers with the tools necessary to navigate the complexities of novel writing, making it an indispensable resource for aspiring authors seeking to elevate their craft.In this enriched edition, we have carefully created added value for your reading experience:- Handpicked Memorable Quotes shine a spotlight on moments of literary brilliance.- Interactive footnotes clarify unusual references, historical allusions, and archaic phrases for an effortless, more informed read.

A Room of Ones Own is an extended essay by Virginia Woolf. First published on 24 October 1929, the essay was based on a series of lectures she delivered at Newnham College and Girton College, two womens colleges at Cambridge University in October 1928. While this extended essay in fact employs a fictional narrator and narrative to explore women both as writers of and characters in fiction, the manuscript for the delivery of the series of lectures, titled "Women and Fiction", and hence the essay, are considered non-fiction. The essay is generally seen as a feminist text, and is noted in its argument for both a literal and figural space for women writers within a literary tradition dominated by patriarchy.

This book is about how postgraduate students might choose a topic for their thesis that they can investigate and turn into a short paper or a long dissertation. The book looks at questions like the following. What should feed into their choice of a supervisor? How should they compile and organise their bibliography and set about writing the introduction? What are some tips for writing paragraphs and entire chapters and producing conclusions? What are ways of providing references, using helpful (or at least correct) punctuation, avoiding common mistakes in spelling, and improving their level of writing? When difficulties arise for instance, with their supervisor, how might they cope with and resolve such difficulties? This book is a guide. It aims to offer straightforward suggestions about doing research, putting the results into a convincing form, and dealing with difficulties that inevitably arise. The overall objective of this book is to provide students and their supervisors with some down-to-earth proposals about things to do and things to avoid when preparing and producing a long essay or a thesis. This book is the result of many years of teaching and supervising students.

Abrir el mundo desde el ojo del poema reúne seis ensayos en los que Alicia Genovese indaga en las posibilidades de acción de la poesía, que "podría entenderse como el lenguaje que intenta decir, sin ser aplastado por lo dicho". Ha estudiado esta lengua del asombro desde distintos divisaderos: la docencia, los viajes, el ensayo y la escritura de poesia, y en esta obra se ocupa de explorar el sitio donde la poesia abre un mundo y lo vuelve mas habitable.Desplegando con solvencia sus hipotesis de lectura, se ocupa aqui de piezas de poetas como Juan Gelman, Hector Viel Temperley, Susana Thenon, Liliana Ancalao, Jose Watanabe o Marosa di Giorgio. ¿Como aparece la idea de un poema? ¿Que papel juega la emocion, esa "linea de fuerza invisible que lo impulsa"? ¿De que hablamos cuando hablamos de procesos de composicion? Genovese parte de preguntas, en apariencia, simples, trampolines para que la ambicion y el temperamento de su inteligencia desenvuelvan todo su caudal.Pensamiento, emocion y escritura se trenzan en un arco generoso, de Anaximandro a la ultimisima poesia, de la ciudad al campo, de los pueblos originarios a los migrantes y los exiliados. En la respiracion de este conjunto de ensayos hay sucesivas aperturas, luces y oscuridades que se turnan para entregar un umbral duradero en el que sentarse a leer.
