Memory has long been ignored by rhetoricians because the written word has made memorization virtually obsolete. Recently however, as part of a revival of interest in classical rhetoric, scholars have begun to realize that memory offers vast possibilities for today's writers. Synthesizing research from rhetoric, psychology, philosophy, and literary and composition studies, this volume brings together many historical and contemporary theories of memory. Yet its focus is clear: memory is a generator of knowledge and a creative force which deserves attention at the beginning of and throughout the writing process. This volume emphasizes the importance of recognizing memory's powers in an age in which mass media influence us all and electronic communication changes the way we think and write. It also addresses the importance of the individual memory and voice in an age which promotes conformity. Written in a strong, lively personal manner, the book covers a great deal of scholarly material. It is never overbearing, and the extensive bibliography offers rich vistas for further study.

This book offers an easy-to-follow set of writing principles. For example, use active verbs whenever possible, favour concrete language over vague abstractions, avoid long strings of prepositional phrases, employ adjectives and adverbs only when they contribute something new to the meaning of a sentence and reduce your dependence on the "waste words": 'it', 'this', 'that' and 'there'. The author also shows these rules in action through examples from famous authors such as Shakespeare and Emily Dickinson. The book includes a test to help you assess your own writing and get advice on problem areas.

Screenwriters are storytellers and dream builders. They forge new worlds and beings, bringing them to life through storylines and idiosyncratic details. Yet up until now, no one has told the story of these creative and indispensable artists. The Writers is the only comprehensive qualitative analysis of the history of writers and writing in the film, television, and streaming media industries in America. Featuring in-depth interviews with over fifty writers—including Mel Brooks, Norman Lear, Carl Reiner, and Frank Pierson—The Writers delivers a compelling, behind-the-scenes look at the role and rights of writers in Hollywood and New York over the past century. Granted unprecedented access to the archives of the Writers Guild Foundation, Miranda J. Banks also mines over 100 never-before-published oral histories with legends such as Nora Ephron and Ring Lardner Jr., whose insight and humor provide a window onto the enduring priorities, policies, and practices of the Writers Guild. With an ear for the language of storytellers, Banks deftly analyzes watershed moments in the industry: the advent of sound, World War II, the blacklist, ascension of television, the American New Wave, the rise and fall of VHS and DVD, and the boom of streaming media. The Writers spans historical and contemporary moments, and draws upon American cultural history, film and television scholarship and the passionate politics of labor and management. Published on the sixtieth anniversary of the formation of the Writers Guild of America, this book tells the story of the triumphs and struggles of these vociferous and contentious hero-makers.

They've done the Creative Writing course. They know how to show-not-tell and kill those darlings. Now they meet every two weeks to discuss and fine tune their novels before they set out on the obstacle course to publication. But the fictional problems of Peter's protagonist are beginning to escape the page and morph into his own life. Not least in the effect that the enigmatic Shelley is having on his marriage. While Virginia can't help but treat the others as her surrogate family. Meanwhile Ben is two-timing with another group. And should they accept a new member - Kath's boyfriend who writes in Spanish? And isn't new technology making the whole publishing scene redundant anyway? Satirical in tone, irreverent towards the agents who stand in their path, The Writers' Group follows eight Londoners as they attempt to gate-crash their way into the literary world. But as they head off to France for a writers' retreat, where it will all go ecstatically right and catastrophically wrong, they discover more than they expected about the need of every one of us to speak out and let our stories be told. “We regret that we cannot represent this book as we see no market for it.” (Literary agent) “Competence with the English language does not make up for the fact that nothing interesting happens.” (Reader's report) “…I did not love this …” (Literary agent) “…cheap send-up of the creative writing industry …” (Reader's report) “This author is not the new JK Rowling.” (Literary agent who passed up JK Rowling) “Everyone has a novel inside them. And that's where it should remain.” (Literary agent)

The Writers' Conference takes you into a world most people never see...Laura Belmont has finished writing her first novel and she hopes it will change her life. She quits her job, ends the affair she's having with her married boss, and heads off to one of the oldest writers' conferences in the country. Her plan is to make a connection with one of the famous staff authors or a well-known literary agent who will help her get published.The conference is in a picturesque setting, but the atmosphere is anything but tranquil. From the moment she arrives she feels the intensity of two hundred people who have come for the same reason she is there. The male writers on the staff are more interested in her body than in her manuscript. She attends creative writing workshops unaware of the literary politics being played in the shadows by the famous authors teaching her--the favors made, the courtesies given, the grudges held. Even an author's wife becomes fair game.Anxiety builds with each day as Laura's dream of finding a literary agent and getting published fades, leading her to think that she's made the wrong choice in wanting to be an author. Then something extraordinary happens that makes her change her mind.
