<div>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.&nbsp;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.

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?"

Writing about Stories, Stories about Writing

Words and Pictures by Mo Willems

Sei uno scrittore fallito e ti spiego perché

Independently published

Se hai iniziato un romanzo e non l'hai mai finito, questo libro ti riguarda più di quanto sia comodo ammettere. Se aspetti l'ispirazione, se ti offendi davanti alle critiche, se confondi una buona idea con una storia, se pensi che pubblicare significhi essere letto, se ami i tuoi aggettivi come figli fragili e i tuoi personaggi parlano tutti con la tua stessa voce, allora questo non è solo un libro sulla scrittura. È probabilmente una cartella clinica con copertina. Sei uno scrittore fallito e ti spiego perché è un anti-manuale ironico, tagliente e pratico per aspiranti autori, scrittori esordienti, narratori dilettanti, blogger, autopubblicati e per chiunque abbia mai pronunciato la frase sto lavorando a un romanzo con un'espressione più solenne del contenuto del file. Il libro smonta, uno dopo l'altro, gli autoinganni più frequenti di chi vuole scrivere: l'amore per l'immagine dello scrittore più che per la fatica della pagina, il culto dell'ispirazione, i manoscritti eternamente incompiuti, la falsa superiorità di chi pensa che il mondo non lo capisca, il terrore della revisione, la confusione tra talento e mestiere, tra pubblicazione e lettura, tra originalità e pasticcio intenzionale. Non troverai formule magiche, ricette per il bestseller, promesse editoriali o frasi motivazionali da stampare e appendere sopra la scrivania. Quelle servono soprattutto a decorare la stanza in cui continui a non scrivere. Troverai invece diagnosi spietate, esempi riconoscibili, battute scomode, esercizi pratici e una serie di verità che ogni aspirante scrittore dovrebbe ascoltare prima di infliggere al mondo il terzo prologo del suo romanzo ancora non finito. Il tono è sarcastico, ma non gratuito. La parola fallito non è usata come insulto: è una provocazione. Uno scrittore fallito non è necessariamente uno che scrive male. È uno che non finisce, non rilegge, non taglia, non accetta critiche, non studia il mestiere, si innamora della propria voce e spesso preferisce l'idea romantica dell'autore alla realtà poco fotogenica del lavoro. Ogni capitolo prende un errore e lo mette sotto una luce impietosa: personaggi senza voce propria, dialoghi che sembrano interrogatori, inizi meteorologici, spiegazioni inutili, aggettivi ornamentali, finali affrettati, paragoni comodi con i grandi autori, ossessione per le recensioni, vittimismo editoriale e molte altre piccole malattie della pagina. Ma questo libro non si limita a ridere del disastro. Dopo la diagnosi arriva sempre la parte utile: come riconoscere il problema, come correggerlo, come smettere di usare l'ego come editor e come trasformare un testo da alibi personale a oggetto leggibile. Non è un libro contro chi scrive. È un libro contro le bugie che chi scrive si racconta. Non ti farà diventare automaticamente uno scrittore. Però potrebbe impedirti di continuare a fallire sempre nello stesso modo.

Manuale semi-serio per sopravvivere alle illusioni letterarie

Applying the approach of 'reading-as-a-writer' to the craft of writing for young people, this textbook combines critical analysis, unique author-insight and practical application of ideas to give writers the skills to create successful fiction for youth audiences. Under the guidance of children's author Elen Caldecott, compelling close readings dig deep into the construction of modern classics and contemporary middle grade, YA, picture books and more to explore how paragraphs, sentences and words engineer specific reader responses. Interviews with the author of the extracted work follow before each chapter rounds off with writing exercises that prompt writers to engage with techniques and ideas discussed. Accessible and equipping writers with the valuable knowledge and skills to write in one of the fastest-growing fields in creative writing, Writing for Young People draws upon the works of prominent writers such as Jon Klassen, Patrick Ness, Liz Kessler, Faridah Àbíké-Íyímídé and more. It also features: - Author interviews covering topics such as their writing and editing process, their perspective on the analysis made of their work, and the book's origin - Discussion of vital craft techniques in novel-writing and editing including language, plotting, character construction, narrative time, worldbuilding, dialogue, cultural history, tropes and conventions - Coverage of key contemporary issues that students, teachers and professional writers of fiction for youth audiences will encounter from archetypes, class and race, and transnational writing, to conceptions of childhood, environment, colonialism, power, coming-of-age and social justice - Consideration of the role of wider literary and community landscapes in creating compelling texts Light-hearted but intellectually rigorous and rewarding, the field of writing for youth readers has been waiting for this book.

Critical Readings and Discussions on Craft

Writing for Young People

In this unique collection of essays, published writers offer an intimate view of how their work has been informed, shaped and transformed by their literary, political, philosophical or personal influences. Providing models of the critical commentaries that all students of creative writing must write, each essay from contemporary authors of fiction, creative non-fiction, poetry, scripts and digital writing demonstrates how what writers write is determined by what they have read, and what they read is then determined by what they are writing. As writers reflect on their process of moving from sources of inspiration to a finished and original piece of writing, they reveal their anxieties, passions, discoveries and motivations, offering fascinating insights into the imagination's journey. Introductory chapters explore why writers reflect on their own work, and place this practice in wider contexts, offering theoretical frameworks for understanding process, influence, and inspiration. As illuminating for aspiring writers as it is for students reflecting on their research and process as part of writing courses, Creative Writing and the Critical Commentary will change the way writers talk about and engage with other texts.

Reflection, Influence, Process

Creative Writing and the Critical Commentary

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

Memoir has the power to change not just a writer’s life, but the world we all share. Too often dismissed as self-indulgent or merely therapeutic, memoir is in fact one of the most radical literary forms of our time—an act of truth-telling that dismantles cultural myths and creates new ways of seeing. In Truth Be Told, acclaimed memoirist and psychologist Kerry Cohen, author of the beloved bestseller Loose Girl, shows readers how personal storytelling can subvert dominant narratives, generate empathy, and reveal the deeper truths that connect us all. Blending literary guidance with psychological insight, Cohen explores the art and intention behind today’s most powerful memoirs—those that move beyond confession to create meaning. With warmth, humor, and deep respect for the craft, she offers writers a clear methodology, illuminating examples, and structured exercises to help them find their story, shape it authentically, and write it in a way that truly matters. Whether you’re a first-time writer or a practiced storyteller, Truth Be Told will teach you not only how to write a memoir worth reading—but how to uncover the deeper truths of being hum

Crafting Memoir That Matters

Truth Be Told

The first book to investigate, analyze and theorize the creative processes of literary writers, Creativity and Contingency in Literary Writing uses author interviews, manuscript genetics and textual evidence to explore creativity from the authorial perspective. Studying an author's practice, literary form and contextual contingencies as elements that affect literary creativity, Karin Kukkoken develops theoretical models for examining the age-old problem of artistic creation and how it has been put to works by authors from the nineteenth century to the age of digital fiction, across a range of languages. With insights from the cognitive sciences, anthropology and philosophy of mind as well as literary studies, the book calls upon interviews with Siri Hustvedt, Marina Warner, Anne Weber, Camille Laurens, Gwenaëlle Aubry, Kate Pullinger, Gunnhild Øyehaug, Maria Stepanova and György Dragomán and studies the manuscripts of Charlotte Brontë, Cora Sandel, Elsa Morante and Italo Calvino. Overcoming the traditional distinction between creative agent, process and creative product, Creativity and Contingency in Literary Writing is as accessible and illuminating as it is important to understandings of human creativity.

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.
