Farrell K: Fairy Tale Heroine

Fairy Tale Heroine

Live and Write Her Journey

A creative masterclass for aspiring and established writers alikeAfter decades of writing award-winning books on subjects ranging from poetry to art to liturgical seasons, celebrated author Marilyn McEntyre turns her attention to the vocation that has shaped her life. Start with a Word: On the Craft and Adventure of Writing is a literary masterclass that eschews drills and formulas in favor of close readings and refreshingly playful advice.A veteran teacher, Marilyn understands that the best writing instruction doesn't come from rigid rules or rote approaches to filling the blank page. Instead, she demonstrates how the writers whose works we have enjoyed can become our tutors. She calls us to move beyond asking "What does this text say?" to a more revealing question: "How does this text work?" This shift in perspective--from passive consumption to active apprenticeship--transforms how we encounter literature and how we create it.More than a how-to manual, Start with a Word is an invitation into a way of being that honors both the precision and the mystery of words. It offers short lessons on essential elements of literary craft, close readings of passages from a range of works, writing prompts, and, above all, encouragement for authors to find their unique path into work only they can create. "Reading and writing keep alive in us the desire to be precise, lively, surprising, generous, inviting, challenging, wise. They make us want to be good, if only in the sense that choosing exact and appropriate words is a matter of choosing the good. . . . I don't think you can be an excellent writer without developing some virtues, if only fidelity to a practice that honors the gift of language."

“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;

The Power of Putting Pen to Paper

From the acclaimed filmmaker and Sunday Times bestselling author comes a frank, insightful and heartwarming exploration of the myriad issues surrounding contemporary motherhood. "It was the first time I'd ever signed 'Mummy', and it was a goodbye letter." "I feel so honoured to have carried you both for nine months and delivered you safely into the arms of your parents." "I knew I had to be in that little girl's life. The next time I got out, I never used drugs again." "As a refugee, I say to my daughter, 'You have been born in a safe place. Never take that for granted.'" After having her first child, Stacey Dooley had a new understanding of what family means - but not everyone's experience of motherhood is the same. In Dear Minnie, Stacey brings her trademark empathy and investigative skill to an entirely new 'frontline', exploring the varied perspectives of mothers of all experiences. Using letters that each mother has written to their child as her starting point, Stacey's frank, honest, and moving inquiry takes in experiences from pregnancy to birth and beyond, uncovering the messy truths and different emotional journeys women take, as well as the common bonds they all share. Dear Minnie shines a light on the quiet selflessness, resilience, pain, trauma, grief, and joy of every kind of mother, to tell a story that transcends culture and geography, and speaks to us all.

Die Medizin ist nicht neutral - sie ist ein Spiegel der Gesellschaft. Bis heute gilt der männliche, weiße Standard-Körper als Norm in Forschung und Lehre. Die Folge? Milliarden Menschen werden im Gesundheitssystem übersehen, fehlbehandelt oder diskriminiert. Wer in Deutschland gesund wird und wer früher stirbt, entscheiden die Postleitzahl, der Kontostand, die Hautfarbe oder das Geschlecht. Warum das so nicht weitergehen kann und wie eine empowernde Medizin der Zukunft aussieht, zeigt Dr. Mertcan Usluer. 
Als 'Gynäkollege' begeistert der queere Arzt mit Migrationshintergrund über 370.000 Menschen auf Instagram und bringt Medizin, Gesellschaftskritik und queere Themen zusammen. Mit schamfreiem Ton und systemischer Schärfe zerlegt er medizinische Mythen und benennt strukturelle Ungerechtigkeit. 
Zwischen wissenschaftlicher Präzision und emotionaler Essayistik zeigt dieses Buch, warum Medizin, Politik und Gesellschaft untrennbar sind, und warum es sich lohnt, für die eigene Gesundheit aktiv zu werden.

“Here is a writer with a rare gift for appreciation and for reminding us of all we have to celebrate in our fractured world.”&nbsp;—Pico Iyer, author of 
The Half Known Life Behind the scenes of a globe-spanning career in freelance journalism Foreword by Tim Cahill A Crooked Line celebrates an age when print journalism changed lives and made the world a better place. That era may be winding down, but this perceptive book makes the case for why incisive writing will always matter. Over the course of his 40-year career, Michael Shapiro has reported from more than 20 countries, writing for National Geographic, The Washington Post, The Los Angeles Times and many other top publications. But the itinerant writer’s life, while rewarding, has never been easy.
 
Shapiro worked as an investigative reporter and staff writer for San Francisco Bay Area newspapers before letting go of a regular paycheck and setting out to share stories of people and places worldwide. The exhilarations of the open road, “afoot and light-hearted” as Whitman wrote, were tempered by the challenges of freelancing, from making a living to working with heavy-handed editors.
 
His stories put people first: For a feature about Puerto Rico’s recovery after Hurricane Maria, he visited farmers who spoke of shifting from exporting produce to growing food for local people. His profile of a Yosemite photographer, who climbed Half Dome after being diagnosed with cancer, brought the man’s big-hearted humanity to the fore.
 
Shapiro is known as a travel writer, but his work goes far beyond global dispatches. In this book he shares stories of: <ul><li>saving Sunset magazine’s priceless archive of Western life (including photos made by Ansel Adams) after Time Inc. told staffers to toss everything into a dumpster</li><li>an investigation into the U.S. government’s attempt to conceal the circumstances of pro football star and soldier Pat Tillman’s death during the war in Afghanistan</li><li>writing a tribute about environmental hero Jane Goodall just hours after she died</li><li>how the Grateful Dead’s ecstatic songs celebrate the wonders of nature.</li></ul>Renowned for his books of conversations with writers and artists, A Sense of Place and The Creative Spark, Shapiro has interviewed David Sedaris, Amy Tan, Smokey Robinson, Joan Rivers, Frances Mayes and Peter Matthiessen. In this volume, he tells the story of how he convinced a reluctant Paul Theroux to agree to an interview and shares an in-depth dialogue with poet and philosopher David Whyte. A Crooked Line highlights Shapiro’s best journalism and includes behind-the-scenes anecdotes about how he pitched stories and got assignments worldwide. Postscripts detail what happened afterward; some include letters from people he wrote about, sharing what his coverage meant to them. Due to the dramatic changes in the journalistic landscape, a career like Shapiro’s couldn’t begin today. Yet the skills he honed as a journalist—empathetic listening, concise and evocative writing, and a keen sense of what matters—remain as relevant as ever. The tales and insights in A Crooked Line provide a timely affirmation of journalism’s enduring power to illuminate the human experience. This penetrating book reminds us that whatever life path we choose, it’s vital to make it our own.

The Perils and Rewards of a Life in Freelance Journalism

A Crooked Line

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.
