Write Yourself Happy

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 Robison, 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.

A Guide to Writing with Elegance, Opulence, and Indulgence

In Praise of Purple Prose

Warm, wise and full of practical tips, this book is the ideal guide to every writing life 'Amazingly freeing' Guardian 'For anyone who wants to write a novel, or for anyone who loves reading novels... A Long Game is a joy' Sunday Times Write every day Show, don't tell Write what you know Kill Your Darlings These are some of the most popular nuggets of advice given to writers, universally agreed to be true. They are all pieces of writing advice that Elizabeth McCracken expertly and persuasively shoots down in A Long Game. McCracken has been writing for most of her life. Here, she shares insights gleaned along the way, deconstructing received wisdom whilst playfully tackling the mysteries that are inherent to writing and creativity. A book about the life of an artist and a guide to fiction, A Long Game is a revelatory and indispensable resource and will lead all writers, at any stage of their career, back to the page. 'Lovely and energising' Megan Nolan, Observer 'Wonderful tough love, direct, and very funny advice on how to be the writer you want to be' Ann Patchett 'A cheering companion that makes writing a less lonely business' Yiyun Li 'Elizabeth McCracken is one of America's finest writers' Garth Greenwell 'I would encourage every writer to read it' Rebecca Ivory

The Craft of Teaching on Black Life and Literature

Teaching Black

This book delves deep into the complex, ethically fraught topic of proofreading of student writing by exploring a variety of perspectives on proofreading interventions in student texts. It gives voice to a range of ethical perspectives, from those who are deeply troubled by proofreading of student writing to those who take a more permissive stance and those whose confusion lands them somewhere in between. As the first book-length work on this topic, it makes a necessary contribution to research on proofreading of student work.

Ethics, Roles and Responsibilities

Proofreading Student Writing

Managing people has never been harder. Remote work, AI integration, generational friction and constant change have made the job almost untenable. But at its core, managing people comes down to an ongoing series of conversations -- and managers are overwhelmed by the sheer volume and variety of conversations every day. Most managers receive no management training before inheriting people to manage, and those who do often develop one or two approaches to these conversations and apply them universally. But the managers who consistently get the most from their teams are the ones who can read a situation clearly and shift their approach deliberately.Award-winning organizational psychologist and executive coach Dr. Jake Tuber introduces the Manager Conversations Framework - a practical tool that maps eight distinct postures managers can adopt across the dimensions that matter most in any interaction.Written for managers at every level - from first-time supervisors to senior leaders across every industry and sector - and packed with diagnostic tools, checklists and pro tips, this practical, research-backed guide has everything needed to help every manager become more effective.

The eight postures that make management conversations work (and how to choose the right one every time)

Mining Midlife for Powerful Writing

Writing Through the Pause

It is seldom, if ever, that readers and writers see the different stages of a piece of writing in progress. In this unique volume, 16 of the US's most distinguished writers pull back the curtain on their creative and revision processes whilst drafting their works of creative nonfiction. Using side-by-side examples of first drafts and final versions of their writing, including original full-page reproductions from the writers' personal notebooks, an original, illuminating essay accompanies each draft that recounts the journey from inspiration to completion. Offering a generous insight into the creative process from the rough bold strokes to refined, clear, elegant prose, this behind-the-scenes look delves into the creative minds of working writers, including African American, Latino, Asian American, and indigenous writers from across the US. An invaluable resource for students and instructors looking to enliven the classroom or just offering practicing writers a peak into the processes of their peers, this book presents the false starts and missteps, the self-editing, tinkering, cutting, rearranging, and craft working writers make in the plight for perfectly polished prose. With nothing like it on the market, The Art of Revising Creative Nonfiction is an enlightening and unparalleled collection of modern-day creativity in action, a must have for aspiring writers and teachers of all levels.

The Art of Revising Creative Nonfiction

Tradd Street Press

New Practical English for High Schools First Course

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 weeklong 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.
