What happens when you combine six students and one teacher with the Jack Grapes Method Writing (JGMW) programme? Magic! Jules Swales ran a summer refresher class, for the students who'd been studying JGMW with her for a couple of years. The students attended with the only intention of being better writers. The short stories in this book are examples of what's possible when people use their superpower, write like you talk, combined with the JGMW exercises. Over the five weeks each writer used the exact same method to come up with six unique pieces of writing. Jules Swales describes the method and the exercises at the beginning of each week so that you can see what the students were up to and ...
In The Irrational Jesus: Leading the Fully Human Church, Ken Evers-Hood explored how our predictable irrationality can trip us up and how we can adjust for biases. But irrationality isn't all bad.

METHOD WRITING is based on concepts developed by Jack Grapes and used in his writing workshops over the last 35 years. This method activates the creative process by expanding and deepening the writer's voice through a step-by-step series of exercises. The result is work that is unique and powerful. Grapes' first book, Method Writing: The First Four Concepts, focused on voice and cinematic imagery.

Since 1995, more than 150,000 students and researchers have turned to The Craft of Research for clear and helpful guidance on how to conduct research and report it effectively . Now, master teachers Wayne C. Booth, Gregory G. Colomb, and Joseph M. Williams present a completely revised and updated version of their classic handbook. Like its predecessor, this new edition reflects the way researchers actually work: in a complex circuit of thinking, writing, revising, and rethinking. It shows how each part of this process influences the others and how a successful research report is an orchestrated conversation between a researcher and a reader. Along with many other topics, The Craft of Researc...
