Myers L: The Heart and Craft of Writing
a Healing Memoir

The Heart and Craft of Writing a Healing Memoir

Mo Willems, a #1 New York Times bestselling and award-winning author and illustrator, delivers a personal, philosophical, and pragmatic look at the art of writing for children. From the creator of The Pigeon, Elephant &amp; Piggie, Knuffle Bunny, and other beloved children's characters comes a collection of essays chronicling Mo Willems' early life through his award-winning career in children's television, theater, art, and books. Willems delivers an in-depth study of his writing process, explores his philosophy on writing for children, and dissects one of his picture books-cover to cover-to give readers a behind-the-scenes look at his creative process. Essays include art, photos, and memorabilia from Willems' sketchbooks and personal archives.Comprised of over twenty-five essays-some writing about stories, others stories about writing-Willems breaks down approaches to the art of storytelling, offers surprising insights and helpful tactics, and answers his most frequently asked question, "Where do you get your ideas?" From Willems' foundational years working at Sesame Street to his groundbreaking debut picture book Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus! to his expansion into exhibits, comedy shows, musicals, and theater, readers go behind the pages and discover how a persistent sketchbook doodle launched a billion "NOs!"

Writing about Stories, Stories about Writing

Words and Pictures by Mo Willems

Nitrogen is what gives Guinness its surge and its dome. Fifty-four years later, a food scientist in Portland put the same gas into cold coffee, and nitro cold brew became a category. Nobody had hidden the pattern. It sat in the beer trade press for half a century, in an industry no one in coffee had any reason to read. Coffee people read coffee reports. Beer people read beer reports. We are taught to look for the future close to home: among our competitors, our customers, and the prevailing ideas within our own field. By the time a shift becomes visible inside a category, much of its strategic value has already been claimed. Your next advantage is probably taking shape somewhere you are not looking. Latitudinal thinking is the practice of looking across fields to recognize patterns others miss. Rather than examining the world you already know more intently, you learn to identify the same need, behavior, or force taking shape elsewhere, and to consider what it could make possible in your own work. Strategist Lara O’Shea has built her career on these connections. Drawing on geography, anthropology, photojournalism, and more than two decades of work across industries, she follows premiumization from spirits to skincare, coffee, and pet food, and now to fresh produce. She shows how two exhausted doctors at Great Ormond Street watched a Formula 1 pit stop on television and rebuilt the most dangerous minutes in pediatric heart surgery around what they saw, cutting technical errors per handover by roughly 40 percent. She traces how a self-taught carpenter’s son solved the longitude problem that Europe’s astronomers had claimed for two hundred years. Recognizing a connection is only the beginning. At the center of the book is the Latitude Scan, a five-step method for finding promising patterns, uncovering the forces beneath them, translating them across boundaries, and testing whether they truly fit: Chart, Scan, Triangulate, Traverse, and Ground Truth. A chapter on failure names the six ways a borrowed pattern goes wrong, so a reader can tell a meaningful parallel from a superficial resemblance before betting on it. The book arrives at the moment depth stopped paying. Your competitor’s AI has read the same reports as yours, and knowing your category better than anyone else is no longer an advantage you can hold. What remains is human work: deciding where to look, recognizing a structure when it turns up in an unfamiliar container, and judging whether it will survive the crossing.

Reading Patterns the World Misses

Thinking in Latitudes

Lake Nest Publishing

This inspiring and deeply personal memoir tells the story of a senior author's determination to fulfill her lifelong dream of becoming a published writer despite the painful challenges she encountered along the way. Entering the online publishing world with hope, trust, and excitement, she believed she had finally found the right path to share her stories with readers across the globe. However, behind the promises of professional publishing services were individuals driven by deception, manipulation, and greed.
As a first-time author unfamiliar with the industry, she became the victim of publishing scams that not only took advantage of her financially but also withheld the royalties she rightfully earned from her book sales. Just when she thought things could not get worse, she found herself deceived a second time. Instead of allowing these heartbreaking experiences to destroy her passion for writing, she chose to fight back through knowledge, perseverance, and faith.
More than a personal testimony, this book serves as a practical guide and warning for aspiring authors everywhere. Filled with valuable advice, it teaches readers how to recognize red flags, avoid dishonest companies, protect their creative work, and stand up against scammers in the online business world. Honest, courageous, and empowering, this story is a reminder that even in the face of betrayal, resilience and determination can still lead to success. It inspires writers to never surrender their dreams now.

Rampant Fraud

The Relentless Pursuit of Extracting Finances

What if the greatest obstacle to innovation isn't a lack of intelligence, money, or opportunity, but a story we've been telling ourselves for generations?We've been taught that invention belongs to a rare class of brilliant minds, that world-changing ideas emerge from prodigies, celebrated entrepreneurs, and scientific geniuses. The truth is far more hopeful. Every extraordinary solution begins with someone who notices what everyone else has learned to ignore.In Think. Invent. Inspire., you'll meet inventors, entrepreneurs, scientists, and everyday people whose breakthroughs didn't begin with exceptional talent or perfect circumstances. They began with frustration, curiosity, persistence, and a simple refusal to accept that things had to remain the way they were. Through captivating stories, groundbreaking research, and timeless lessons from the world's most remarkable innovators, this book dismantles the myth of the lone genius and reveals innovation for what it truly is: a skill that can be cultivated by anyone willing to observe deeply, think differently, and persist through failure.Whether you're a student, entrepreneur, educator, professional, or simply someone who wants to make the world a little better than you found it, this book offers a new way of seeing the problems around you, and your own ability to solve them.This is not a book about becoming the next famous inventor. It is a book about becoming the kind of person who refuses to stop asking, "How could this be better?" Because history is shaped not only by extraordinary people, but by ordinary people who choose to think, invent, and inspire.

On social media, you are either original and memorable or invisible. What would your choice be? In a world where your audience is scrolling through hundreds of videos a day, distracted, overstimulated, and preoccupied with a thousand other things, the question is no longer how often you post. It is whether your content earns a second of genuine attention before the thumb moves on. Scroll-Stopping Video Hooks gives you a systematic, psychology-based framework to make sure your content gets noticed every time. Built on decades of research in cognitive psychology, behavioural economics, and attention science, this book explains exactly how human attention works, what the brain is wired to respond to, and how to use that knowledge to create hooks that stop the scroll, filter the right audience, and earn the next five seconds of genuine attention. Unlike other books on content creation, this one does not overload you with dense theory or suggest you reverse-engineer your competitors. Instead, it gives you a proprietary ideation system called the Hook Grid, a practical framework that combines psychological triggers with creative angles to generate over a hundred distinctive hook directions, every one of them rooted in something your audience will notice, feel, and act on.

Managing Your Money: The Compact Guide

If you are building something that pays off slowly, this book is the blueprint for the patient way it actually gets done. For founders, writers, makers, and anyone assembling a body of work over years: the most prolific author you've never studied is the best teacher alive on building work that lasts. Gordon Korman wrote his first book for a seventh-grade assignment and was marked down for messiness. It sold two hundred thousand copies. Five decades later he has published more than a hundred books and sold over thirty-five million copies, and he still insists it was never genius. It was a chapter a week, held for a very long time. This book takes that career apart for parts. In the tradition of Robert Greene, it reads one extraordinary working life as a quarry of practical laws and hands each one to you. You will learn: -<ul><li>Why cadence beats intensity, and how a unit too small to refuse outproduces every heroic sprint</li><li>Why the library, not the launch, is the wealth</li><li>How to know which mountain isn't yours, and stop chasing prestige away from the thing you're great at</li><li>Why franchises compound and standalones don't</li><li>How to outlast the recurring funeral every field announces for itself Seventeen laws, each drawn from documented public fact, each tested against one honest standard: keep only what would be worth doing even if you never break through. The career is astonishing. Not one of its components is. That is the most useful thing about it, because components can be copied. An independent, unauthorized analysis. Not authorized by, endorsed by, or affiliated with Gordon Korman. Drawn entirely from public sources and written in good faith.</li></ul>

A creative masterclass for aspiring and established writers alikeAfter decades of writing award-winning books on subjects ranging from poetry to art to liturgical seasons, celebrated author Marilyn McEntyre turns her attention to the vocation that has shaped her life. Start with a Word: On the Craft and Adventure of Writing is a literary masterclass that eschews drills and formulas in favor of close readings and refreshingly playful advice.A veteran teacher, Marilyn understands that the best writing instruction doesn't come from rigid rules or rote approaches to filling the blank page. Instead, she demonstrates how the writers whose works we have enjoyed can become our tutors. She calls us to move beyond asking "What does this text say?" to a more revealing question: "How does this text work?" This shift in perspective--from passive consumption to active apprenticeship--transforms how we encounter literature and how we create it.More than a how-to manual, Start with a Word is an invitation into a way of being that honors both the precision and the mystery of words. It offers short lessons on essential elements of literary craft, close readings of passages from a range of works, writing prompts, and, above all, encouragement for authors to find their unique path into work only they can create. "Reading and writing keep alive in us the desire to be precise, lively, surprising, generous, inviting, challenging, wise. They make us want to be good, if only in the sense that choosing exact and appropriate words is a matter of choosing the good. . . . I don't think you can be an excellent writer without developing some virtues, if only fidelity to a practice that honors the gift of language."

Travelers' Tales/Solas House

Behind the scenes of a globe-spanning career in freelance journalism With a Foreword by Tim Cahill A Crooked Line celebrates an age when print journalism changed lives and made the world a better place. That era may be winding down, but this perceptive book makes the case for why incisive writing will always matter. Over the course of his 40-year career, Michael Shapiro has reported from more than 20 countries, writing for National Geographic, The Washington Post, The Los Angeles Times and many other top publications. But the itinerant writer’s life, while rewarding, has never been easy.
 
Shapiro worked as an investigative reporter and staff writer for San Francisco Bay Area newspapers before letting go of a regular paycheck and setting out to share stories of people and places worldwide. The exhilarations of the open road, “afoot and light-hearted” as Whitman wrote, were tempered by the challenges of freelancing, from making a living to working with heavy-handed editors.
 
His stories put people first: For a feature about Puerto Rico’s recovery after Hurricane Maria, he visited farmers who spoke of shifting from exporting produce to growing food for local people. His profile of a Yosemite photographer, who climbed Half Dome after being diagnosed with cancer, brought the man’s big-hearted humanity to the fore.
 
Shapiro is known as a travel writer, but his work goes far beyond global dispatches. In this book he shares stories of: <ul><li>saving Sunset magazine’s priceless archive of Western life (including photos made by Ansel Adams) after Time Inc. told staffers to toss everything into a dumpster</li><li>an investigation into the U.S. government’s attempt to conceal the circumstances of pro football star and soldier Pat Tillman’s death during the war in Afghanistan</li><li>writing a tribute about environmental hero Jane Goodall just hours after she died</li><li>how the Grateful Dead’s ecstatic songs celebrate the wonders of nature.</li></ul>Several chapters cover themes familiar to journalists and others who work for themselves. Among them: deadlines, headlines, rejection and compensation. A glossary defines insider journalism terms such as hed, dek, slug, lede, nut graf, and kill fee. Renowned for his books of conversations with writers and artists, A Sense of Place and The Creative Spark, Shapiro has interviewed David Sedaris, Amy Tan, Smokey Robinson, Joan Rivers, Frances Mayes and Peter Matthiessen. In this volume, he tells the story of how he convinced a reluctant Paul Theroux to agree to an interview and shares an in-depth dialogue with poet and philosopher David Whyte. A Crooked Line highlights Shapiro’s best journalism and includes behind-the-scenes anecdotes about how he pitched stories and got assignments worldwide. Postscripts detail what happened afterward; some include letters from people he wrote about, sharing what his coverage meant to them. After his story about Welsh bard Dylan Thomas was published in The Washington Post, Shapiro received a handwritten letter from a former customs official who said he had admitted Thomas into the United States on the fateful 1953 trip from which the poet would never return. Months after the Yosemite photographer succumbed to cancer, his widow wrote a heartfelt email to Shapiro telling him that his writing made her feel she was “spending time with Kirk again.” Due to the dramatic changes in the journalistic landscape, a career like Shapiro’s couldn’t begin today. Yet the skills he honed as a journalist—empathetic listening, concise and evocative writing, and a keen sense of what matters—remain as relevant as ever. The tales and insights in A Crooked Line provide a timely affirmation of journalism’s enduring power to illuminate the human experience. This penetrating book reminds us that whatever life path we choose, it’s vital to make it our own.
