Myers M: A Guidebook to Writing
Historical Biofiction

A Guidebook to Writing Historical Biofiction

Turning History into Story

Why do we write poetry? Who should create it? And where do you even start? Well, Brian Bilston, one of the UK's most hilarious and best-loved poets, is here to take us through the hows, whys and whats of reading, writing and enjoying poetry every day. With his characteristic wit and charm, Bilston accompanies us through the jungle of imagination to the source of inspiration, takes us under the bonnet of a sonnet and over the fear of literary devices. He gives us a whirlwind tour through the history of verse, and shows us why human poetry will always triumph over any attempts by AI. Showcasing over a hundred brand-new poems, and including practical critiques of some of his greatest hits, every page is an immensely pleasurable deep-dive into the life-affirming craft of poetry and a passionate argument for why we should all pick up a pen. How to Lay an Egg with a Horse Inside is for anyone who loves words and all the things they can do. Reader Reviews: 'Love the author's humorous take on creating poetry . . . absolutely brilliant!' 'I laughed my way through the book.' 'I'm not a poetry aficionado but this book made me feel like I could write poetry!' 'A lighthearted gambol through the topic of poetry' 'Absolutely hilarious - the kind of poems you'll love even if you don't consider yourself a 'poetry person''

A Writer's Craft

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 weekly 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.

Mischief and Misadventures in the World of Books

Rogues, Widows and Orphans

Als Ministerpräsidentin von Rheinland-Pfalz war Malu Dreyer die erste Frau im Amt. Ihr Kabinett: so weiblich wie keines zuvor. Sie ist eine jener Frauen, die Wege zur Gleichberechtigung geebnet haben. Doch der Fortschritt, das erkennt sie mit Schrecken, droht zu kippen. Ob die Gewalt gegen Frauen, die sinkende Zahl weiblicher Führungskräfte, die Rückkehr patriarchaler Rollenbilder wie der 'Tradwives' oder der Vormarsch antifeministischer Parteien - wir erleben einen gefährlichen Backlash. 
Doch Aufgeben ist keine Option. Das weiß Malu Dreyer so gut wie kaum eine andere. In Zuversicht ist eine Entscheidung berichtet sie von ihren persönlichen Kämpfen und ihrem Streben nach Freiheit, vom Frausein in der männerdominierten Welt der Politik, von weiblicher Macht, moderner Führungsverantwortung und Männern als Partnern im Kampf für Gleichberechtigung. Leidenschaftlich erzählt sie von prägenden Vorbildern und entwickelt eine Vision, wie wir über die Generationen hinweg Haltung festigen und endlich in entschlossenes Handeln übersetzen können. Es steht viel auf dem Spiel: Gerade jetzt lohnt es sich, Errungenschaften zu verteidigen, neue einzufordern - und für das einzustehen, woran man glaubt.

Warum der Kampf für Gleichberechtigung dringender ist denn je

Zuversicht ist eine Entscheidung

Bloomsbury Spectres, Hauntings and Horrors

Exploring current debates in creative writing about the borders between fiction and creative nonfiction, this collection of essays draws on concepts of the uncanny and hauntology to challenge, subvert and transgress the boundary between forms. Hauntology, as originally defined by Derrida, challenges the certainties of ontology, in a similar way to debates about truth in creative nonfiction; by bringing together authors that undermine the fiction/nonfiction binary, Haunted Writing considers the ways in which real events and experiences haunt writers as they craft their work. Offering insight into how the past - both personal and historical - is experienced and understood in the present, this book includes writing from a diverse group of established and emerging authors who situate their work on genre boundaries and discuss their own creative practice to show how their writing 'haunts' real events. With essays covering a range of ideas from subjectivity, intersectionality and challenging dominant versions of history, to braiding personal and researched stories, playfulness, experimentation and creating stories from archival documents, this beautifully written collection intervenes in contemporary discussions in creative writing and culture surrounding ownership, appropriation and ethics. Bringing a fresh voice and new perspectives to ever-present questions within creative writing, Haunted Writing uncovers how the past is a spectre that disrupts contemporary writing.

Storytelling from the Borders of Fiction and Nonfiction

Haunted Writing

A workbook designed to guide the bereaved through grief using a clinically-informed, structured storytelling method, this book gives readers the ability to disclose their suffering and work toward healing and reconcile with their loss using narrative writing. Based upon her research and the 'expressive storytelling' method she created, Linita Eapen Mathew calls upon her own experiences losing her father along with carefully structured narrative exercises to teach readers how they can write, re-examine, revise, and re-write their grief story to work towards a point of clarity and release. Leaning into grief theory and trauma-informed and therapeutic writing research, Writing Through Grief allows readers to create a complete and consistent account of their experiences to help them process events that unfolded, release trauma, and relieve the intense reactions and responses to the loss of both the living and the deceased. With each chapter combining Eapen's personal narrative with expressive storytelling exercises alongside discussion of the research behind them for context, this book offers readers a creative, productive but emotionally sensitive approach to handling grief. Whether guided by a trained psychologist, a workshop instructor or writing in the comfort of a personal space, writers can disclose their suffering and work toward healing and reflection through creative writing.
