Shawver B: The Language of Fiction

The Language of Fiction

A Writer's Stylebook

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.

Ten Essays on the Curious and the Writerly Volume 1

Creative Writing Curiosity

Want to create characters readers can't forget? Start here.Most fiction writers know what their characters do-but struggle with why they do it. Fiction Character Psychology bridges that gap, giving you the psychological frameworks professional writers use to build authentic, multi-dimensional characters that resonate with readers long after the final page. This isn't another "fill in the character worksheet" guide. It's a comprehensive exploration of human psychology specifically adapted for fiction writing-from foundational personality theory to the subtle markers of trauma, mental illness, and moral complexity. Inside, you'll discover: <ul><li>Personality architecture - How the Big Five traits, MBTI types, and Enneagram systems create distinct character voices and behavior patterns</li><li>Motivation frameworks - Why Maslow's Hierarchy (with a revolutionary internal/external needs approach) explains what drives your characters at every stage of their journey</li><li>Psychological authenticity - How to portray depression, anxiety, PTSD, personality disorders, and other conditions without stereotypes or exploitation</li><li>Relationship dynamics - The Karpman Drama Triangle, attachment styles, and interpersonal patterns that create compelling conflict</li><li>Moral complexity - How to build characters who operate in ethical gray zones without losing reader sympathy</li><li>Age-appropriate development - Psychological realism for characters from childhood through elderhood</li><li>Specialized populations - Authentic portrayal of characters with disabilities, neurodivergence, and marginalized identities</li><li>Applied techniques - Practical tools for revealing psychology through action, dialogue, and internalization rather than exposition</li></ul>Whether you're writing literary fiction, genre thrillers, romance, or science fiction, this reference transforms abstract psychology into concrete character-building strategies. Each section moves from foundational concepts to nuanced applications, with examples showing how psychological principles manifest in actual character behavior. Stop creating cardboard cutout puppets. Start building characters who leap off the page and live in the reader's mind.

From the all-time bestselling mind behind Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, Daredevil, 300, and Sin City, Push the Wall is part memoir, part master class for budding artists and writers by one of the greatest living creators whose work has influenced pop culture for decades. Frank Miller is our greatest living comic book writer and artist. Frank Miller shares his life, and through, his artistic process. Miller’s artistic influence is evident in so very much of our popular culture, perhaps most notably with Batman—every film adaptation from the past forty years has been influenced by Miller’s work with the dark knight. Simply, Frank Miller has transformed the way comics are told. Here, Frank’s mix of autobiographical lessons evokes Patti Smith’s Just Kids as it weaves his struggles as a seventeen-year-old kid fresh from Vermont into a seedy 1970s New York City with his eventual success on reimagining Daredevil and Wolverine. From there to Miller’s rescue and revitalization of Batman, to his time in Hollywood, the Sin City comics and film adaptations he would codirect, and the retelling of the Spartans’ last stand in 300. Miller, by constantly challenging himself as an artist and writer on his terms, built an iconoclastic career. With over a dozen illustrations of Miller’s art, Push the Wall is the work of his career—it is a masterclass as it encapsulates his life in sixteen lessons for the aspiring creative reader.

Concise and current, Writing Science in the Twenty-First Century provides practical strategies for a wide range of scientific writing tasks. The authors use a systematic rhetorical approach and plentiful examples from multiple disciplines, preparing students in all STEM fields to write and speak with confidence, accuracy, clarity, and persuasive impact. This extensively revised second edition features integrated coverage of AI throughout, introducing tools and strategies for using it both ethically and effectively. New material addresses the growing challenge of communicating science in public contexts, and exercises--already a strength in the first edition--have been expanded, offering writers more chances to apply key concepts to their own writing.

Writing Science in the Twenty-First Century - Second Edition

A perfect gift for a writer, artist, or thinker These have been called the most famous and beloved letters of the 20th century. Rainer Maria Rilke himself said that much of his creative expression went into his correspondence, and here he touches upon subjects that will interest writers, artists, and thinkers. Letters to a Young Poet is a classic that should be read by everyone who dreams of expressing themselves creatively. This luminous translation offers inspiration to all people who seek to know and express their inner truth. This edition features a new foreword by Kent Nerburn, author of Small Graces and Letters to My Son.

Letters to a Young Poet

Unpublished essays in Spanish by a master of world literature on how to be a writer and practical advice for new authors. Jack London used the press as a space for reflection on literature itself. Articles such as Getting Into Print, Phenomena of Literary Evolution, and Eight Great Factors of Literary Success are short poetics of the craft. In them, London addresses young writers, shares his experience in the publishing market, and defends literature connected to social reality. These reflections, now almost forgotten, are fundamental to understanding how London conceived his dual identity: journalist and storyteller, writer and worker of the word. This annotated edition aims to place each text in its original context, offer keys to reading it, and make material that until now remained scattered in newspaper archives available to the Spanish-speaking public. Jack London's voice, with its passionate search for adventure and commitment, resonates here with renewed force. The work continues the series already begun by this publisher on this author with articles on socialism (What is Socialism?).

Essays on Community in Literary Arts

What if reading poetry could change you--not just what you think, but how you move through the world?For forty years, Thomas Gardner led students through this transformative act--not analyzing poems from a distance but reperforming them from the inside. Walking together through Elizabeth Bishop's broken beaches, Robert Frost's snowy woods, and Emily Dickinson's rooms of possibility, they discovered that getting lost is how we are found. That acknowledging fragility opens eyes to wonder. That poems, like parables, ask us not to produce definitive explanations but to keep up.A Place of Encounter is Gardner's luminous record of this work. Through fifty-one short lyric essays moving between memory, close reading, and theological reflection, he opens up the inner drama of poems as spiritual exercises--spaces where, as Dickinson puts it, our narrow hands are forced wide to gather paradise. With the grace and precision of the poems he loves, Gardner shows how deep reading grooves interior change.Here is the classroom as temple: bodies leaning forward, voices rising together, readers discovering they're no longer alone. Here is teaching from a position of faith that speaks across every spiritual commitment. Here is poetry as a place of encounter.

Stunning Sentences

INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER 36 ways to improve your writing Two writers show you how to turn a worthy sentence into a memorable one. Starting where The Elements of Style leaves off, Good Writing can improve your book, your essay, your memo, your blog post, speech, or script. These essential rules for persuasive language work on any type of writing, and anyone can learn them quickly. Each rule is accompanied by examples and a lively pair of essays, the first by Neal Allen, who developed the list of tips over the course of his journalism and corporate careers; the second by his wife, Anne Lamott, acclaimed author of Bird by Bird and nineteen other nonfiction works and novels. The authors don’t always agree on the specifics, but they are passionate about making better sentences. As Neal writes, “These rules economize, favor the plainspoken and the specific, keep the reader’s attention sharp, and in other ways show respect for the audience’s time and desire for novelty.” Some rules are fundamental: Use strong verbs. Remove the boring stuff. Twist clichés. Some are more subtle: Draw on all five senses. Give your sentence a finale. Along the way, Good Writing addresses practicalities such as finishing projects despite challenges, trusting editors, and knowing when to break the rules to serve your story. Whether you're a novice writer or a seasoned author, this entertaining guide will revolutionize your approach to crafting sentences.
