Author of the international best seller I'm with the Band: Confessions of a Groupie, Pamela Des Barres shares with women the art of memoir writing. For the last 14 years, Pamela Des Barres has been teaching an eight-week women's "femoir" writing workshop. She found that the music-loving ladies who showed up at her door had pent-up stories to tell. Many of them had read her two memoirs, which were wildly personal and deeply confessional, and felt comfortable opening up and experiencing that same freedom of expression.

Gary Webb had an inborn journalistic tendency to track down corruption and expose it. For over thirty-four years, he wrote stories about corruption from county, state, and federal levels. He had an almost magnetic effect to these kinds of stories, and it was almost as if the stories found him. It was his gift, and, ultimately, it was his downfall.

Until recently, McClelland and Stewart had been known as 'The Canadian Publisher', the country's longest-lived and best independent press. Its dynamic leader, Jack McClelland, worked with successive provincial and federal governments to help draft policies in the 1960s and '70s which ensured that Canadian stories would, for the first time in the nation's history, be told and published by Canadians. M&S introduced Canadians to themselves while championing the nation's literature.

It was the 1960s - a time of economic boom and social strife. Young women poured into the workplace, but the “Help Wanted” ads were segregated by gender and the “Mad Men” office culture was rife with sexual stereotyping and discrimination. Lynn Povich was one of the lucky ones, landing a job at Newsweek, renowned for its cutting-edge coverage of civil rights and the “Swinging Sixties.” Nora Ephron, Jane Bryant Quinn, Ellen Goodman, and Susan Brownmiller all started there as well. It was a top-notch job - for a girl - at an exciting place. But it was a dead end.

Over the course of the past twenty-five years, Julia Cameron has taught thousands of artists and aspiring artists how to unblock wellsprings of creativity.

Occuparsi del linguaggio pubblico e della sua qualità non è un lusso da intellettuali o una questione accademica. È un dovere cruciale dell'etica civile. Non è possibile pensare con chiarezza se non si è capaci di parlare e scrivere con chiarezza. Sono parole del filosofo John Searle, teorico del rapporto fra linguaggio e realtà istituzionali. Le società vengono costruite e si reggono essenzialmente su una premessa linguistica: sul fatto cioè che dire qualcosa comporti un impegno di verità e di correttezza nei confronti dei destinatari.

"In letteratura è come in teologia: valgono le sole domande. O meglio: è l'intelligenza delle domande che costringe a elaborare risposte alla loro altezza. Se chi si appresta a leggere questo libro spera di trovare enunciati regole e precetti più o meno ovvii su come scrivere cosa, allora forse è meglio che abbandoni il libro e l'idea di diventare scrittore. Il talento, l'istinto sono necessari. Vanno educati, certo, ma sono necessari. Uno scrittore autentico i fondamentali li avverte ben prima ancora di elaborarli in concetti."

Les tropes sont partout : sur les réseaux sociaux, nichés au cœur des intrigues... Ils nourrissent les attentes des lecteurs et guident les auteurs. Mais que sont les tropes, précisément ? À quoi servent-ils vraiment ? Et surtout, comment manier ces « clichés » sans en devenir un soi-même ?
