How Slavery Shaped Australia

The long-awaited guide to writing long-form nonfiction by the legendary author and teacher Draft No. 4 is a master class on the writer's craft. In a series of playful, expertly wrought essays, John McPhee shares insights he has gathered over his career and has refined while teaching at Princeton University, where he has nurtured some of the most esteemed writers of recent decades. McPhee offers definitive guidance in the decisions regarding arrangement, diction, and tone that shape nonfiction pieces, and he presents extracts from his work, subjecting them to wry scrutiny. In one essay, he considers the delicate art of getting sources to tell you what they might not otherwise reveal. In another, he discusses how to use flashback to place a bear encounter in a travel narrative while observing that "readers are not supposed to notice the structure. It is meant to be about as visible as someone's bones." The result is a vivid depiction of the writing process, from reporting to drafting to revising-and revising, and revising. Draft No. 4 is enriched by multiple diagrams and by personal anecdotes and charming reflections on the life of a writer. McPhee describes his enduring relationships with The New Yorker and Farrar, Straus and Giroux, and recalls his early years at Time magazine. Throughout, Draft No. 4 is enlivened by his keen sense of writing as a way of being in the world.

The Heart and Craft of Writing a Healing Memoir

This engaging and highly practical workbook introduces students and writers to the creative and critical possibilities of the essay form, inviting them to see it as creative, imaginative and practice-led in content and approach. With most viewing the essay in academia as formulaic, impersonal, strictly linear and arguing a series of points evidenced according to certain rubrics, Kirsty Gunn and Gail Low make a case for the form to be more verb than noun, more activity and process than final arrival. Through practical examples, tips, readings, how-to plans for groups, collaborative exercises, publishing initiatives, network resources and ideas to refresh and energise study, this hybrid workbook-manifesto makes critical work creative, and creative work more probing and enlarging. With exciting implications for subjects from creative writing to areas across the humanities, the book incorporates forays into such disciplines as archival studies and history, visual and fine art, philosophy, presentation and rhetorical study and architecture. Bold and innovative, The Writing Studio is an ethos, an orientation over an instructional manual, using words, language, rhetoric and images to experiment playfully and productively with the essay form. Taking risks and offering surprises, this book chips away at outdated notions of the essay and presses forward with a mode of writing for the modern world.

2025 CHOICE Outstanding Academic Title A powerful critique of mass incarceration by the people who have experienced it Inside Knowledge is the first book to examine the American prison system through the eyes of those who are trapped within it. Drawing from the writings collected in the American Prison Writing Archive, Doran Larson deftly illustrates how mass incarceration does less to contain any harm perpetrated by convicted people than to spread and perpetuate harm among their families and communities. Inside Knowledge makes a powerful argument that America's prisons not only degrade and debilitate their wards but also defeat the prison's cardinal missions of rehabilitation, containment, deterrence, and even meaningful retribution. If prisons are places where convicted people are sent to learn a lesson, then imprisoned people are the ones who know just what American prisons actually teach. At once profound and devastating, Inside Knowledge is an invaluable resource for those interested in addressing mass incarceration in America.

How to Write Your Own Life Story

Creative Writing Curiosity: Ten Essays on the Curious and Writerly is a lively collection examining how curiosity informs, shapes, deepens and empowers creative writing. Across ten varied essays the collection explores curiosity as stimulus, as guide, as teacher, companion or provocateur. Sometimes initiating, sometimes encouraging deeper thinking and greater imagining, and often the impetus, curiosity is shown as innate and routinely engaged with uncertainty. It is from our desire to know, the questioning that our curiosity entails, that creative writing emerges. Ultimately, it is shown that curiosity is manifest not only in what we write creatively but in how we go about writing it.
