“Conversational essays on wonder . . . A&nbsp;meditation on what gives life meaning. . . . A loving sermon on the rewards of children’s books.”&nbsp;―Kirkus Reviews Make Believe is bestselling children’s author Mac Barnett’s rallying cry for art and imagination, and a celebration of the power of storytelling in all our lives. It’s an incisive, intimate, and timely invitation to approach children’s literature not only as an art form worthy of deep study and criticism, but as a portal into the lives of the children. And at a time when we are faced with a national literacy crisis,&nbsp;he&nbsp;champions the profound joys of literature and the importance of reading for pleasure. What if children are a great audience for art? What if they are in fact better equipped to engage deeply with stories than adults? What if humans’ ability to appreciate art is, if not innate, awakened early in childhood? Well, then we’d better do our best to make some good kids’ books. Written with humor and academic rigor, Make Believe&nbsp;reads like a letter from your smartest and funniest friend. Includes spreads from Goodnight Moon and Busy, Busy Town, illustrations by Caldecott Medalist Jon Klassen, and cover art by celebrated illustrator Carson Ellis. &nbsp;

Nobody gets past your first page, and nobody can tell you why.Not because they were being kind. A reader who stops does not know why she stopped. Press her and she will invent a reason - it didn't grab me - which describes the outcome and diagnoses nothing.So you were given the only advice available. Sharpen the hook. Start later, start louder, start with the body already on the floor.The hook was almost never the broken part.Sit in the room where openings are actually judged - a slush pile, an agent's screen, a panel of readers who stop the moment three hands go up - and the pages that fail are frequently not dull. Several of them are thrilling. They get stopped anyway, and the reasons cluster: I didn't know where I was. I couldn't tell who I was following. I had to go back to the top.Not bored. Lost. And being lost inside a book does not feel like boredom. It feels like being somewhere nobody has shown you around, and a reader who feels that puts the book down and blames her own tiredness.The four questions a reader is asking before she will turn the page<ul><li>Where am I? - grounding, which is not description, and costs about a clause.</li><li>Who am I with? - not a face in a mirror. A person with an opinion about what she is looking at.</li><li>What kind of book is this? - the shape of the ride, and the counterintuitive duty to let the wrong reader leave.</li><li>Why should I keep going? - one small promise, made and kept fast, before you open the one you intend to keep.</li></ul>Answer all four and a reader relaxes. Answer one of them brilliantly and leave the others blank - which is exactly what a spectacular action opening does - and she stops on line six while telling herself she will come back to it.Built to be run, not readEvery chapter ends with a test you carry out on exactly thirteen lines - your first thirteen, and no more. Always a test, never a rewrite, because you are the one person in the world structurally unable to read your own first page. They collect into a two-page audit at the back that you can run against any opening in an hour.And running through the whole book is one real manuscript: thirteen lines of a fantasy novel whose author has rewritten chapter one nineteen times. You will see them five times. They get better, then better again, and then - for reasons that have nothing to do with the writing - worse.You will also find<ul><li>Why adding description to a confusing opening reliably makes it more confusing</li><li>The six openings that put you on hard mode, what each one costs, and what buys the exception</li><li>Why an unexplained proper noun is a debt, and how to settle one inside the clause</li><li>FAST - the four places a reaction shows up, and why a checklist ruins it</li><li>The stop condition: how to know the page is finished when it will never be perfect</li></ul>Page One is the fourth book in a line that follows the work in the order it actually happens - You Are Not Lazy for the writer who is not writing, The Four-Day Novel for the one who cannot finish a draft, The Rewrite for the one who cannot fix it. Start wherever you are stuck.You almost certainly cannot write this page yet. That is not a failure of preparation - it is the order of the work, and this book is about what to do in the meantime.

Memoir has the power to change not just a writer’s life, but the world we all share. Too often dismissed as self-indulgent or merely therapeutic, memoir is in fact one of the most radical literary forms of our time—an act of truth-telling that dismantles cultural myths and creates new ways of seeing. In Truth Be Told, acclaimed memoirist and psychologist Kerry Cohen, author of the beloved bestseller Loose Girl, shows readers how personal storytelling can subvert dominant narratives, generate empathy, and reveal the deeper truths that connect us all. Blending literary guidance with psychological insight, Cohen explores the art and intention behind today’s most powerful memoirs—those that move beyond confession to create meaning. With warmth, humor, and deep respect for the craft, she offers writers a clear methodology, illuminating examples, and structured exercises to help them find their story, shape it authentically, and write it in a way that truly matters. Whether you’re a first-time writer or a practiced storyteller, Truth Be Told will teach you not only how to write a memoir worth reading—but how to uncover the deeper truths of being hum

The Cozy Fantasy Author's Toolkit: The Complete Collection Somewhere in your imagination there is a village. You can almost see the bakery window, the inn at the end of the lane, the neighbour on the doorstep with a casserole and an apology rehearsed over a decade of quiet mornings. You know what kind of world this is - one where magic lives in the kitchen and kindness is the bravest thing a person can do. You just need help getting there. This is that help. 1,000 Characters hands you a town already populated. Fourteen chapters of townsfolk - hearth-keepers and elders, eccentrics and the quietly wounded - every one arriving with a want and a story seed, ready to be placed on your page and set in motion. 1,000 Writing Prompts opens the door and lets you walk in. A spare loaf set on the windowsill each dawn for whoever might need it. An innkeeper whose door has never once been locked, on the night of the worst weather in years. A thousand beginnings that know, as cozy fantasy knows, that the ordinary afternoon is full of wonder if you know how to look. 1,000 Plot Twists gives your story somewhere to go - complications built for this genre's particular logic, where conflict is resolved through patience, community is the point, and the resolution leaves everyone a little larger than before. Three volumes. One complete toolkit. Everything the world in your head has been waiting for. The small is not the consolation prize. The tended life is the whole point.

A clear, thoughtful, and practical guide to writing in the age of generative AI. AI and Writing is an indispensable guide to composing with generative AI. Sidney I. Dobrin prepares students to use GenAI effectively, ethically, and critically--skills now essential for academic and professional success. The book tackles core questions: What tasks do these tools best support? Where do they fall short? How are they used responsibly? Dobrin focuses on durable, transferable writing practices, as well as the real-world issues raised by AI, including authorship, plagiarism, copyright, bias, and the material consequences of AI. "Provocations" boxes spark critical engagement, and each chapter concludes with a sequence of exercises and activities that move students from analysis to hands-on experimentation and reflection.

Some writing days leave you staring at the draft with limited time and no clear place to begin.

The Writer Field Kit is a capacity-aware, problem-first workbook for novelists who need a usable way forward. It helps you identify what is happening in the manuscript and choose a task that fits the attention you have available.

Open directly to the problem you are facing: a stalled scene, a character who no longer fits the outline, feedback that made the draft difficult to reopen, a continuity tangle, or a publishing decision you do not understand.

Inside, you will find:
routes for plotters, pantsers, caregivers, and short writing sessions;
stalled-draft rescue and writer's-block tools;
character, scene, story-bible, worldbuilding, research, and continuity worksheets;
practical support for perfectionism, comparison, and feedback recovery;
plain-language guidance for revision, publishing paths, contracts, and audiobook production;
printable and fillable companion forms for repeat use.



Use one page or work through an entire manuscript stage. Each tool is designed to produce a clear decision, a completed task, or a reliable place to restart.
Created for debut authors, neurodivergent writers, busy caregivers, and anyone whose writing time rarely arrives under perfect conditions, The Writer Field Kit helps you make progress on the writing day you actually have.
