Notes for the Young Writer in the Real World

Real-world writing advice, minus all the lectures.

You're an aspiring writer. Maybe you've just discovered your love of words and dream of being a novelist someday. Maybe you've been filling notebooks with science-fiction stories since middle school. Maybe you're contemplating a liberal arts degree, but you don't know what the heck you're going to do with it. The last thing you need is another preachy writing manual telling you how you should write.

This book isn't a writing manual. It is a series of candid and irreverent essays on the writing life, from a writer who's lived it. Kerri Majors shares stories from her own life that offer insights on the realities all writers face: developing a writing voice, finding a real job (and yes, you do need to find one), taking criticism, getting published, and dealing with rejection.

Don't have enough time to write? Learn how to plan your days to fit it all in. Not sure how your guilty pleasures and bad habits translate into literature? Kerri explains how soap operas and eavesdropping can actually help your writing. Need a reader for your first novel? Find a writing buddy or a writing group that will support you. Nervous about submitting your first piece? Learn from Kerri's own roller coaster journey to find an agent and get published. This Is Not a Writing Manual is the writing memoir for young writers who want to use their talents in the real world.

ATTENTION TEACHERS! The Teacher's Edition for This Is Not a Writing Manual is now available! This FREE supplemental PDF includes a series of lesson plans and writing class essentials that will improve the writing of students in middle and high school--and beyond. To access, e-mail us at writersdigest@fwmedia.com to receive your free download, or visit Kerri Majors's website.

Why It's So Hard for White People to Talk about Racism

The New York Times best-selling book exploring the counterproductive reactions white people have when their assumptions about race are challenged, and how these reactions maintain racial inequality. In this “vital, necessary, and beautiful book” (Michael Eric Dyson), antiracist educator Robin DiAngelo deftly illuminates the phenomenon of white fragility and “allows us to understand racism as a practice not restricted to ‘bad people’ (Claudia Rankine). Referring to the defensive moves that white people make when challenged racially, white fragility is characterized by emotions such as anger, fear, and guilt, and by behaviors including argumentation and silence. These behaviors, in turn, function to reinstate white racial equilibrium and prevent any meaningful cross-racial dialogue. In this in-depth exploration, DiAngelo examines how white fragility develops, how it protects racial inequality, and what we can do to engage more constructively.

Malcolm Gladwell

What We Should Know about the People We Don't Know

Malcolm Gladwell, host of the podcast Revisionist History and #1 bestselling author of The Tipping Point, Blink, Outliers, David and Goliath, and What the Dog Saw, offers a powerful examination of our interactions with strangers---and why they often go wrong. How did Fidel Castro fool the CIA for a generation? Why did Neville Chamberlain think he could trust Adolf Hitler? Why are campus sexual assaults on the rise? Do television sitcoms teach us something about the way we relate to each other that isn't true? Talking to Strangers is a classically Gladwellian intellectual adventure, a challenging and controversial excursion through history, psychology, and scandals taken straight from the news. He revisits the deceptions of Bernie Madoff, the trial of Amanda Knox, the suicide of Sylvia Plath, the Jerry Sandusky pedophilia scandal at Penn State University, and the death of Sandra Bland---throwing our understanding of these and other stories into doubt. Something is very wrong, Gladwell argues, with the tools and strategies we use to make sense of people we don't know. And because we don't know how to talk to strangers, we are inviting conflict and misunderstanding in ways that have a profound effect on our lives and our world. In his first book since his #1 bestseller, David and Goliath, Malcolm Gladwell has written a gripping guidebook for troubled times.

History

La Historia Desconocida de Las Mujeres Que Lucharon Contra Los Nazis

La extraordinaria y asombrosa historia de las mujeres que lucharon contra los nazis en la Segunda Guerra Mundial. «Una investigación excepcional, fascinante.» The Wall Street Journal «Vibra de orgullo y rabia.» The New York Times Book Review «Conmovedor, inquietante y magníficamente contado.» The Economist Varsovia, 1943. Testigos del brutal asesinato de sus familias y vecinos y de la destrucción violenta de sus comunidades, un grupo de mujeres judías en Polonia, algunas todavía en la adolescencia, ayudaron a transformar a los grupos de jóvenes judíos en células de resistencia para luchar contra los nazis. Con valor, astucia y nervios de acero, estas "chicas del gueto" sobornaron a los guardias de la Gestapo, escondieron revólveres en hogazas de pan y ayudaron a construir sistemas de búnkeres subterráneos. Actuaron como correos, combatientes y agentes de inteligencia. Sobornaron a los soldados alemanes con vino, whisky y cocina casera, usaron su aspecto ario para seducirlos, y les dispararon y los mataron. Esta obra finalmente saca a la luz la historia de estas increíbles mujeres cuyas hazañas han sido eclipsadas por el tiempo. Judy Batalion, nieta de supervivientes polacos, nos lleva de regreso a 1939 y nos presenta a la joven Renia Kukielka, una contrabandista de armas y mensajera que se juega la vida al cruzar la Polonia ocupada a pie y en tren, y a tantas otras mujeres que pusieron sus vidas en peligro para llevar a cabo sus misiones. Tan trepidante como inspiradora, Hijas de la Resistencia es una historia inolvidable sobre la lucha por la libertad, la amistad femenina y la supervivencia, y una investigación tan apasionante como necesaria.
