Writing Portals for Life After Loss

Letting Grief Speak

From the internationally bestselling author of The Disappeared comes a profound meditation on the cultural impact of storytelling and testimony in five intimate and illuminating essays. In this moving collection, critically acclaimed novelist Kim Echlin examines how we turn to literature to measure our lives against the darknesses of our time. Tell Others explores how literature resists silencing and repression with truth and imagination. Echlin skillfully blends her lived experience in different parts of the world—teaching in post-revolutionary China, researching war crimes in the former Yugoslavia, studying under one of Canada’s most respected Elders, Basil H. Johnston—with wide-ranging reading that offers solace and highlights the possibility to transform outrage into understanding and resistance. Looking to her favourite writers—Milan Kundera, Salman Rushdie, Ma Jian, Toni Morrison, Margaret Atwood, and Haruki Murakami, to name a few—Echlin grapples in fresh ways with tyranny, war, sexual violence, and censorship to bear witness to the past and look to the future. Written in characteristically unsparing and evocative prose, Tell Others is an invitation to all readers to acknowledge histories that are difficult to see and to make meaning from the stories that buried bones tell. The author proceeds for this book will be donated to PEN Canada and PEN International.

Storytelling for a World in Turmoil

Tell Others

THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER SHORTLISTED FOR THE WOMEN'S PRIZE FOR NON-FICTION 2026 Discover how art can improve our health, make us happier and even help us live longer with the inspiring new book from the award-winning scientist and world-leading expert. 'Wonderful . . . I only wish it had existed as required reading when I was a medical student.' RANGAN CHATTERJEE 'Every day we are overwhelmed by advice on how to live better. Art Cure is an amazing antidote to the deluge of nonsense . . . Everyone should read this.' XAND VAN TULLEKEN 'Elegantly distils the evidence for what we have always intuitively felt; that music, literature, cinema, and art are powerful universal remedies . . . A book for our times.' GILLIAN ANDERSON DIET. SLEEP. EXERCISE. NATURE. ARTS? Many of us consider making and consuming art to be a hobby, or even a luxury. But what if arts engagement - from classical music to salsa, poetry to pop concerts, galleries to graffiti - was in fact one of our most powerful tools for unlocking health and happiness? What if art could help you live longer - and even save your life? In Art Cure, world-leading expert and award-winning scientist Professor Daisy Fancourt reveals the life-changing power of the arts, including how: <ul><li>Songs support the architectural development of children's brains.</li><li>Creative hobbies help our brains to stay resilient against dementia.</li><li>Visual art and music act just like drugs to reduce depression, stress, and pain.</li><li>Dance build new neural pathways for people with brain injuries.</li><li>Going to live music events, museums, exhibitions, and the theatre decreases our risk of future loneliness and frailty.</li><li>Engaging in the arts improves the functioning of every major organ system in the body.</li></ul> And, perhaps most importantly, how art helps us not only to survive, but to thrive and flourish. Fancourt draws on ground-breaking research in neuroscience, psychology, immunology, physiology, behavioural science and epidemiology, as well as inspiring true stories of people who have experienced radical changes in their health, to empower readers to improve their own health through the arts. Informed by the results of decades of scientific studies, Art Cure is the must-read, inspiring guide to improving your health, giving you the tools to write your own 'arts prescription'. More praise for Art Cure: 'A revelation . . . Could not be more timely, nor make a stronger, more urgent case for placing the arts at the centre of our communities.' MELVYN BRAGG, broadcaster and parliamentarian 'Fascinating, comprehensive, compelling, inspiring.' DR CHRISTOPHER BAILEY, World Health Organization

Writing Through the Pause

A Guide to Crafting Modular and Non-Linear Fiction

Stack, Build, Write

Verbs are the underrated stars of the English language. They hold it all together. A complete sentence cannot exist without one, yet a single verb can create complete meaning. (See?) In this glittering exploration of language, grammar, and style, Sarah L. Kaufman illuminates how all of us, professional writers and enthusiasts alike, can master the art of the verb. When she was the dance critic at The Washington Post, Kaufman was challenged to translate the dynamic language of movement into words. Verbs showed her the way. Good verbs power great storytelling; they leap off the page, fire our senses, and transform our perceptions. Verb Your Enthusiasm is a clarion call for all of us to get back to basics: to mean what we say and say what we mean. Kaufman proves how strong verbs can make your own writing ­- be it an email, a text, a report, or an ad - more efficient and effective, and she investigates theories of language that will change how you read and write. But this isn't a grammar guide, and it surely isn't a set of rules. Great writing comes from a mix of inspiration, passion, and intelligence-from your unique discernment and imagination. You'll refine your voice in the company of literary greats, including F. Scott Fitzgerald, Virginia Woolf and George Orwell. In the end, your quest for the right verb might even reveal something true about yourself. All that in a word. So go. Write. Breathe life into your world.

How to Master the Art of the Verb and Transform Your Writing

Verb Your Enthusiasm

Bringing together essays from neurodivergent and disabled writers, and writers with chronic illnesses, this collection explores the impact of these experiences and the struggle against such biases within the field of creative writing. Whilst neuro-divergent and disabled writers publish world-class poetry, prose, and drama that moves readers and wins awards, they face many difficulties accessing these achievements - difficulties which often go unnoticed, unmentioned, and underappreciated. Visibility, insight, alternative approaches, and thorough research are all needed to create more inclusive writing environments. This book confronts these issues head on, calling for diversity in the creative writing field, community, and industry, and more equitable spaces in adjacent arenas from academia to publishing. Broken into four sections, this anthology focuses on creative writing programs, classrooms, the community, and its people, combining narrative, research and practical contributions to the field to offer a mix of practical strategies, personal and pedagogical interventions, critiques, and craft meditations that explore teaching, transformation, evolution, embodied craft, visibility, belonging, injustice, otherness, and views from the outside. With essays and excerpts written by authors and educators from across seven countries, who are each impacted by a wide range of disabilities, including ADHD, autism, blindness, dyslexia, dyspraxia, stroke aphasia, cerebral palsy, bipolar, fibromyalgia, and rheumatoid arthritis, this collection informs, deconstructs and re-imagines to reform and revolutionize normative structures within writing institutions and communities.

"Science fiction has always said--and continues to insist--that humankind does have a future, a future that stretches far ahead for hundreds, thousands, and even millions of years. This deeply held conviction that the human journey has only just begun is the most important, and the most wondrous, prediction of all." --Robert J. Sawyer A 225,000-word collection of articles, reviews, and speeches about science fiction. From talks at venues including the Library of Congress through columns in SF magazines to pieces published in fanzines, Sawyer looks at all aspects of the field he loves so much. "Robert J. Sawyer is one of the most inventive writers in current SF."--Asimov's Science Fiction "Sawyer is the rarest sort of figure in contemporary Canadian writing: a Canadian genre author deeply loyal to both his genre and his Canadian identity." --The Globe and MailRobert J. Sawyer has won both the Hugo and Nebula Awards for Best Novel of the Year. The ABC TV series Flashforward was based on his novel of the same name. A member of the Order of Canada, he lives near Toronto.

Sawyer on Science Fiction

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.
