A Writer's Guide to Multimodal Poetry

Mixtures and Margins

EasyWriter gives your students friendly, reliable writing help in formats that are easy to use and easy to afford.
 What's more, this little book offers big ideas from Andrea Lunsford: that reading critically and writing well empower us and that engaging with others and in our own learning is transformative.
 The biggest idea of all? EasyWriter is for every writer.
 Those who want to follow the rules of academic writing and those who want to experiment; those who learn in typical ways and those who learn in divergent ways; those who choose to use AI and those who opt not to use it; those who come to college knowing critical reading strategies and those who come needing them - all will learn with EasyWriter.
 In the Ninth Edition, inspiring new guidance on AI literacy, critical reading, and language awareness is paired with powerful digital tools in Achieve.

Routledge Studies in Creative Writing

Teaching Creative Writing in Canada

A manifesto in lectures about the material conditions and absurdities of being a writer and adjunct professor under capitalism-by turns funny, angry, despairing, and hopeful-from a writer who "has invented a new form" (Annie Ernaux). 
 
 In the spring of 2025, Heroines and Drifts author Kate Zambreno taught a weeklong nonfiction "craft" lecture at Columbia University, thinking through the crises of the adjunct loop in the United States and the question of labor and writing in publishing and the university. This project became more absurd, and more urgent, as the Trump administration quickly turned to authoritarianism and the university became complicit with the administration, creating a dystopian and paranoid atmosphere in which students were kidnapped from university housing and student protestors were expelled. How can we study together and create under such conditions? 
 
 The resulting essays are funny, angry, often in despair, and somehow also full of optimism as to the future of writing, even amidst the collapse of the institutions meant to support writers and students. Zambreno engages with texts including Sofia Samatar's Opacities, Fred Moten and Stefano Harney's The Undercommons, Noémi Lefebvre's The Poetics of Work, Heike Geissler's Seasonal Associate, and Samuel Delaney's Times Square Red, Times Square Blue. 
 
 A craft book against a "craft" divorced from political and material realities, Against Nonfiction is for anyone trying to write and make art in impossible times.

Writing Through Capitalist Realisms

Against Nonfiction

Most composition textbooks begin with skills like thesis writing and paragraph structure. This one begins with a person. Writing as Self-Design is a transformative textbook in which students examine control of information and discover their agency in meaning-making. Informed by neuroscience, rhetorical theory, digital literacy, and composition pedagogy, this book challenges students to question how meaning is made, filtered, and constrained in the digital age, and to develop their unique voices through composition strategies that reclaim writing as an act of self-design. It is a book which responds to the technological landscape in which we find ourselves. Rather than convincing students of the value of research and writing, Writing as Self-Design allows them to discover their own emotional value through enhanced agency in inquiry and resistance. Through this textbook, composition becomes a space in which students question information control, the hedonic cycle of passive consumption, and their greater agency in creativity and intentional design. Recognizing the ubiquity of tools like AI, this book encourages critical examination of how and why they are used. Students engage with algorithmic bias, misinformation, datafication, and the influence of platforms like Google, TikTok, and ChatGPT: not just as topics, but as forces that shape the way they think, write, and relate to the world. The value of Writing as Self-Design will resonate well beyond the classroom, addressing the importance of the critical skills needed to navigate the "total noise" of our media-saturated lives, build personal definitions of success, and rediscover the creative cycle that leads to lasting happiness and fulfilment.

Finding Voice and Agency Through Composition

Writing as Self-Design

Bloomsbury Writer's Guides and Anthologies

A complete introduction to the art and craft of extremely compressed works of imaginative literature, this book, now in its 2nd edition, introduces both traditional and innovative approaches to the short form and demonstrates how it possesses structure, logic, and coherence while simultaneously resisting expectations. With discussion questions, writing prompts, flash interviews, and illustrated key concepts, the book covers prose poetry, flash fiction, micro memoir, lyric essay, cross-genre/hybrid writing and much more. Two new chapters explore how to spark inspiration and innovation, and how to take the next steps by collaborating with partners and preparing work for publication. In this revised and expanded edition, H. K. Hummel and Stephanie Lenox present the ultimate companion to writing short fiction, featuring microplays, new short-form tactics, and a dozen fresh anthology pieces by Eve L. Ewing, Ross Gay, Jayne Anne Phillips, Gertrude Stein, and Jean Toomer, along with one-sentence student workshops that spotlight small but powerful moves in the short form. The extensive anthology showcases sixty short-form works including microplays and pieces by writers from Argentina, Chile, Guatemala, Canada, France, Greece, Bosnia, and the U.S., offering a vibrant mix of styles, forms, themes, and voices.

Short-Form Creative Writing

Through a series of discussions with practitioners in fields beyond the Humanities, this book explores how key creative writing techniques inspire and inform other disciplines. In turn, this new multidisciplinary view of the mechanics of storytelling sparks new ways of approaching the writing, reading and teaching of fiction in and beyond the writing workshop. A personal voyage of discovery, the book revolves around conversationswith specialists in archaeology, genetics, architecture, medicine, law and botanical science to consider how specific techniques - narrative time, characterisation, fictionalstructures, plotting, point of view and place - inform their work. Through a series of reflections, short fictions, practical exercises and prompts, these case studies then suggest new insights and methods for investigating key writing techniques, which in turn advocate for closer interactions between STEM, the humanities and arts practice. With creative arts subjects increasingly under pressure to justify their significance in contemporary work and life, Jacqueline Yallop makes a case for the re-evaluation of the importance of narrative writing craft in the world beyond personal practiceand student assignment.

Creative Writing Across Disciplines

Fiction in the Field

Bringing together poets, visual artists and professionals editing and publishing within the genre, this collection showcases the craft, practices and influences of those creating multimodal poetry today. Pairing examples and discussions of writers' work with craft essays by them and exercises to help writers develop their own ways of combining poetry with multimedia, A Maker's Guide to Multimodal Poetry is both a catalyst for creativity and a practical guide to exploring the vast potential of multimodal literature. Beyond describing the tools and composition processes used to create their works, from how to blend different mediums, synthesize text and visuals, experiment with sound and rhythm, and embrace interactivity, poets, artists and students also outline the literary and aesthetic concepts that helped them traverse disciplines from visual arts and digital media to performance art. With exploration of a broad range of forms and methods, the essays discuss audio-modality, image-text hybrids, erasure, musical poetry and musical influence, alphanumeric translations, lyrical improvisation, neo-concrete poetry, using the archive and found poetry, mythic imaginings and the use of tactile experience. Offering a roadmap for navigating uncharted creative frontiers, this book defines the field of multimodal poetics whilst sparking a plethora of new ideas and approaches to poetry making.

Applying the approach of 'reading-as-a-writer' to the craft of writing for young people, this textbook combines critical analysis, unique author-insight and practical application of ideas to give writers the skills to create successful fiction for youth audiences. Under the guidance of children's author Elen Caldecott, compelling close readings dig deep into the construction of modern classics and contemporary middle grade, YA, picture books and more to explore how paragraphs, sentences and words engineer specific reader responses. Interviews with the author of the extracted work follow before each chapter rounds off with writing exercises that prompt writers to engage with techniques and ideas discussed. Accessible and equipping writers with the valuable knowledge and skills to write in one of the fastest-growing fields in creative writing, Writing for Young People draws upon the works of prominent writers such as Jon Klassen, Patrick Ness, Liz Kessler, Faridah Àbíké-Íyímídé and more. It also features: - Author interviews covering topics such as their writing and editing process, their perspective on the analysis made of their work, and the book's origin - Discussion of vital craft techniques in novel-writing and editing including language, plotting, character construction, narrative time, worldbuilding, dialogue, cultural history, tropes and conventions - Coverage of key contemporary issues that students, teachers and professional writers of fiction for youth audiences will encounter from archetypes, class and race, and transnational writing, to conceptions of childhood, environment, colonialism, power, coming-of-age and social justice - Consideration of the role of wider literary and community landscapes in creating compelling texts Light-hearted but intellectually rigorous and rewarding, the field of writing for youth readers has been waiting for this book.

Critical Readings and Discussions on Craft

Writing for Young People

'This is the book we need right now' CAROLINE CRIADO PEREZ 'Lucid, funny and fascinating' ADAM BUXTON The tech disruptor. The tortured poet. The rebellious scientist. The monstrous artist. You can tell what a society values by who it labels as a genius. You can also tell who it excludes, who it enables, and what it is prepared to tolerate. Taking us from the Renaissance Florence of Leonardo da Vinci to the Floridian rocket launches of Elon Musk's SpaceX, Helen Lewis unravels a word that we all use - without really questioning what it means - and asks if the modern idea of genius is distorting our view of the world. 'Brilliant, timely and compulsively readable' OLIVER BURKEMAN 'A provocative, witty book' TLS

The Bloomsbury Introduction to Creative Writing

Skills for Scholars

A playful and irreverent argument for--and practical guide to--writing in a rich and extraordinary style When it comes to literary style, the commonplace wisdom of composition classrooms, newsrooms, and editorial offices has long been that less is more. Students are taught that the best prose is that which eschews ornamentation and rhetorical flourish. But what if sometimes more is more? In Praise of Purple Prose playfully and cheekily contests a century worth of convention that rejects the baroque and byzantine as "purple prose," making the case that fun and joy in language can be as important as concision and comprehension. Part style guide and part manifesto, the book rewrites the rules on writing. Ed Simon encourages writers to embrace the extraordinary, to call upon the classical rhetorical devices, and to relish in the richness of description and the erudition of allusion. He demonstrates that serpentine syntax, eccentric diction, and idiosyncratic punctuation, when used judiciously, can express the complexity of experience, bring out the pleasures of language, and help readers develop a unique voice in a world where AI threatens to make everyone sound alike. To illustrate its arguments, the book features examples of extraordinary prose from dozens of writers, including John Donne, Virginia Woolf, Joan Didion, Salman Rushdie, Marilynne Robison, and Zadie Smith. Playful and provocative, In Praise of Purple Prose will leave readers with a new appreciation for fancy prose and inspire writers to draw on all of the liveliest and most powerful resources of English in their work.
