Kaufman S: Verb Your Enthusiasm / B

Verb Your Enthusiasm

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

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.

In Praise of Purple Prose

'I loved it' KIT DE WAAL, author of The Best of Everything'Generous, intelligent, full of wisdom and insight' LILY DUNN, author of Sins of My Father*A transformative guide to creative writing and the power of paying attention.The way we use language to tell stories reveals a lot about who we are and what matters to us. In Between the Lines, Julia Bell draws on almost thirty years of teaching to take us inside the writing workshop, where students from all over the world meet to share and discuss their work. She finds that in this space a kind of alchemy occurs, where&nbsp;paying real attention to one another and what we have to say - the ultimate challenge in our atomised, 'always-on' society - becomes a profound emotional education.&nbsp;Weaving philosophy, psychology and politics together with stories from the workshop, and featuring wise, practical advice on how to go about writing, this generous and thought-provoking book is about the transformative practice of noticing and slowing down. It shows how bad writing teaches us good things, how creativity helps us to see and be seen, and how reading and writing together fosters connection, tolerance, more expansive ways of thinking, richer access to language, new perspectives - and a better understanding of ourselves and others.*'What&nbsp;appears to be a guide to creative writing is actually a brilliant manual for how to exist in groups, to handle painful material, to grow together. Could anything be more necessary or inspiring?' Olivia Laing, author of The Garden Against Time

Life Lessons from the Creative Writing Workshop

Between the Lines

A practical method, backed by peer-reviewed research, for reimagining work to create your most distinctive, creative, energetic, and relatable professional self.In far too many organizations, the idea of bringing your 'full self' to the job is a liability.Emotion beyond enthusiasm for the task at hand is deemed unprofessional. Personal identity must be compressed into a carefully curated bio: relatable yet inoffensive.When people are conditioned to flatten the full social and emotional complexities of themselves, spirits dull and progress stalls, in life and in the workplace.But for a growing number of people, especially younger generations, this form of workplace culture no longer works. Surveys show that fewer individuals are willing to sacrifice their time and quality of life for a career, let alone an organization. With an increased focus on purpose, meaning, and mental health, many refuse to scrub their emotions, or the full range of their identities, to keep their professional lives separate.At the same time, in more progressive settings, the encouragement to bring people's full selves to work has sometimes unleashed more authenticity and personal revelation than managers and teams know how to handle.So how do we get it right?Lively and accessible, Human Mode features vibrant stories, expert insights, evidence-based techniques, and 'ah-ha' takeaways you can use immediately.Discover how to engage your inherent superpower - being immensely human - to unlock progress, connection, and achievement in your working life.

Chicago Guides to Writing, Editing, and Publishing

Stop worshipping Strunk and White. Start writing well, with 50 tips and techniques from language expert Bryan A. Garner. For decades, people looking for a concise guide to English-language writing turned to The Elements of Style by William Strunk Jr. and E. B. White. That slim book has been used by everyone from high school and college students to professionals seeking quick advice on usage, grammar, and form. But The Elements of Style hasn't been updated in more than a quarter century, and it no longer reflects the way good writers work or what they most need to know, especially in the age of generative AI.How to Write Well: 50 Pointers on Process, Usage, and Style is the modern, evidence-based alternative. Leading language and writing expert Bryan A. Gamer distills a lifetime of teaching and research into 50 compact pointers for modern writers seeking to produce clear, accurate, and lively prose. You'll learn how strong writers think, how they turn ideas into blueprints, and how they draft, revise, and tighten with ruthless selectivity. You'll also encounter lucid guidance on grammar and punctuation that corrects Strunk &amp; White's famous blunders, including shaky treatment of passive voice and a fixation on trivia over substance. How to Write Well presents a start-to-finish method: mindset, habits, process, and the concrete techniques that produce clean, forceful writing. Unlike The Elements of Style, this book doesn't pretend your draft magically appears on the page. It shows you how to generate ideas, structure them, and build a repeatable process for everything you write--from emails and memos to articles, briefs, and books. And while emphasizing the mind and the voice of the writer, it also offers advice on working intelligently with AI while keeping full editorial control. If you're serious about writing, Garner's How to Write Well is the indispensable style book you need now.

Routledge Environmental Humanities

With particular focus on more-than-human experience, this creative-critical book explores the role of literary storytelling in representing and communicating the oceanic environmental crisis.While investigating the creative potential of scholarship in material ecocriticism and the blue humanities, this book examines the theoretical tools needed while developing the poetic and creative role of scholarship in imagining a livable oceanic future. To overcome anthropocentric views of nature, it argues that a fluid and more-than-human literary form is needed. This is developed in the book as a 'jellyfish poetics': a literary structuring device based on the jellyfish life cycle. The book not only theorises this new form, but also enacts it, presenting original and innovative research that embodies a synthesis between creative and scholarly approaches. With its main focus being more-than-human experience of oceanic environmental issues, central case studies are jellyfish, ecological depletion in the North Sea and recent nature-based Dutch water management.This is an important book for scholars interested in the intersection of blue humanities and creative writing as well as the wider environmental humanities. Additionally, it is relevant to practitioners, writers and educators who grapple with the challenge of representing environmental crisis.

Jellyfish Poetics

Literary Storytelling and the Environmental Crisis of the Oceans

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)
