Current Writing News
Occupy writers now publishing writers too
Last week we reported on the launch of Occupy Writers, a web site where hundreds of writers, including Salman Rushdie, Ann Patchett, Neil Gaiman and Alice Walker, have declared their public support for Occupy Wall Street. The site has expanded into literary content, having issued a call for participating writers to visit their local occupation and write about it: “a paragraph, a poem, a comic, a story, a vignette, anything goes.” (from New York Observer).
How to write fiction: Meg Rosoff on finding your voice
Do you have a voice? Can you recognise a voice when you hear one? And while we're on the subject, what does "having a voice" actually mean? Poetry is a great place to look for a strong voice. (from The Guardian).
How to write fiction: Rachel Cusk on point of view
Everyone experiences the operation of point of view – how I think and see the world rather than how you do – on a daily basis, yet its function as a technique of prose writing is frequently misunderstood. Creative writing teachers sometimes seem rather embattled on this subject, insisting on the "rule" that the point of view in a continuous prose narration cannot move among characters, even though a great number of canonical literary works rely on the fact that it can and does. This is one of those "rules", apparently, that is made to be broken. (from The Guardian).
40 Non-fiction books suggested for Canada Reads
Readers of CBC Books have chosen 40 non-fiction works they’d like to see compete in next February's edition of Canada Reads, CBC’s annual book debate.
The titles range from classics like Jane Jacobs's The Death and Life of Great American Cities to memoirs such as Senator Roméo Dallaire's Shake Hands with the Devil to biographies such as Charles Foran's Mordecai: The Life and Times. (from CBC News).
