Romero Y: Intersectionality in Writing
and Language Studies

Intersectionality in Writing and Language Studies

Dialoguing, Decentering, and Co-Storying

Trading Women's Rights in Transitions is about how women's rights are traded away by diplomatic actors directly in exchange for immediate political or other settlements, and indirectly in terms of being left off the international agenda with long-term consequences.

Trading Women's Rights in Transitions

'Fascinating' DAILY MAIL 'Word nerds, assemble! This is the book for us' LUCY MANGAN 'A delightfully impish book of behind-the-scenes literary mishaps' SUNDAY TIMES It's a long journey from a writer's mind to a finished book - and a lot needs to go right along the way. But isn't it more interesting when things go wrong? With an expert Penguin editor as your guide, dive into the dark-side of the book world: a secret history fizzing with scandals, rivalries, cock-ups and con jobs. We'll discover how the tiniest of typos can have oversized consequences, unearth horrifying examples of bad taste and worse style, and peek into tales of forgeries and feuds as dramatic as any thriller. We'll unredact the most egregious cases of censorship, expose hoarders and thieves, and ask: after centuries of man-made mischief, can the humble book survive the new machine age?

8000 Arten, als Mutter zu versagen

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.

AI and Writing - Second Edition

The creator and CEO of ProWritingAid uses the latest science of peak performance and psychology to reveal how, in only four minutes a day, writers can become "creative athletes" and unlock their greatest asset: their mind.The Writer's Mind solves the biggest problem in writing: the unfinished manuscript.Most writers don't struggle because they lack talent, discipline, or ideas. They struggle because of what happens in their minds when they sit down to write. Even motivated, skilled writers find themselves blocked by self-doubt, perfectionism, procrastination, and emotional exhaustion. The creative brain must constantly switch between imagination and focus-often over long periods-and this unique mental demand makes writing feel harder than it needs to be.In The Writer's Mind, Chris Banks draws on neuroscience, positive psychology, cognitive behavioral science, and a decade of first-hand research with millions of writers to reveal a simple truth: mindset-not craft-is the primary factor that determines whether writers finish their work or quietly give up.Introducing writers to how their brains actually work, including the concept of the mind as an 'energy landscape' shaped by habits, beliefs, and emotional patterns, readers learn how common 'writing blocks' form, why their biggest strengths often hide their biggest limitations, and how small, intentional mental practices can rewire creativity, focus, and resilience. These tools help writers quiet their inner critic, escape overthinking, build sustainable focus, and develop a healthier relationship with their creative work.Blending science and storytelling, The Writer's Mind reframes writing from an uphill battle into a sustainable creative practice. It offers writers not inspiration alone, but a clear, compassionate operating manual for consolidation, consistency, and joy.

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.

The Cozy Fantasy Author's Toolkit

A practical guide to writing with AI that puts students' questions, judgment, and learning at the center of the process. Generative AI is changing how people write and how writing is taught. How can students use it thoughtfully while developing their own ideas and abilities? Writing with AI: Literacy in the Digital Age brings the longstanding values of Writing Studies to this question, offering accessible guidance for students and their instructors. The book moves beyond treating AI as a vending machine for finished text. It shows students how to investigate a writing task, ask useful questions, evaluate responses, and revise with a purpose. Throughout, students remain responsible for what they write and for deciding whether, when, and how AI can support their work. A flexible, four-part framework, Question, Assemble, Improve, Deliver (QAID), helps students navigate writing projects, returning to earlier steps as their understanding develops. Designed for classroom use, the book includes explanations, examples, and activities that help students: Develop questions and prompts grounded in purpose, audience, and context Assess AI-generated content for accuracy, relevance, and usefulness Develop and organize ideas while making deliberate choices about revision Consider ethical questions, recognize limitations, and decide when to proceed without AI Prepare writing for readers and explain the role AI played in its development Writing with AI helps students approach an evolving technology with curiosity and critical judgment. Its focus is on the work of writing: asking questions, developing ideas, revising, and taking responsibility for what they share.

An entertaining romp through bookish mishaps, exposing all the weird, wow! and wtf? moments that the literary world has to offer. Following on from the delightful How Words Get Good Lee turns her attention to literature's best mishaps and most scandalous mayhem.

Oh My God

Gods are everywhere in romance. Good god romance is rare. Why? Most writers slap a domain on an angel, add some immortality angst, and think they've written god romance. They haven't. They've written angel romance with a mythology aesthetic. God romance is about pantheons where divine politics matter. About domains that shape identity and limit power. About the weight of immortality when everyone you love dies. About worship creating dependency, not just devotion. About loving across a divide that can't be closed. It's complicated to get right. Your pantheon needs functioning politics, not just name-drops. Your god needs genuine divinity while staying relatable. Your mortal needs agency despite the power gap. Your worship dynamics need to avoid romanticizing submission. Your story needs to justify why this isn't just angel romance with different terminology. This book shows you how. - What actually separates gods from angels (and why it matters) - Pantheons that create politics, conflict, and depth - Domains and worship that shape your story - The mortality/immortality problem and how to make it hurt - Power dynamics that stay romantic without becoming toxic - The tropes that turn god romance problematic &gt;Write the Bite: Book 11. For writers ready to write god romance that earns the distinction. Because calling an angel a god doesn't make it divine.

Verse Writing

In ihrem bisher persönlichsten Buch spricht Florence Given über eines der letzten Tabus des modernen Feminismus: weibliche Konkurrenz.'Für wen hält die sich eigentlich?' - jede Frau kennt diesen Satz. Er soll bremsen, verunsichern und klein halten: Sei nicht zu laut, nicht zu ehrgeizig, nimm bloß nicht zu viel Raum ein. Florence Given zeigt, wie tief Frauen diese Mechanismen verinnerlicht haben und warum gerade Frauen diese gesellschaftlichen Erwartungen gegeneinander verwenden. Sie fragt sich: Wie würden Frauen leben, wenn ihnen die Meinung anderer egal wäre? Wozu wären sie in der Lage? Wie unverschämt gut würde sich ihr Leben anfühlen?Ein emotionaler Weckruf, der Frauen dazu empowert, endlich kompromisslos das Leben zu führen, das sie wirklich führen wollen.

Who Does She Think She Is?

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 Robinson, 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.
