The Writer's Compass
Map out your idea and finish your story in 7 stages! This book will show writers how to develop their ideas into a finished novel by working through it in 7 stages, while learning how to mapping out their story's progress and structure so they can evaluate and improve their work. It teaches writers to visualize their story's progress with a story map that helps them see all the different components of their story, where these components are going, and, perhaps most importantly, what's missing. The book simplifies Aristotle's elements of good writing (a.k.a. that each story should have a beginning, a middle and an end) into easily applicable concepts that will help writers improve their craft. The author helps readers strengthen their work by teaching them how to focus on one aspect of their story at a time, including forming stories and developing ideas, building strong structures, creating vibrant characters, and structuring scenes and transitions. Thought-provoking questions help writers more objectively assess their story's strengths and weaknesses so they may write the story they want to tell.

Writing Home: Representations of the Native Place in Modern Japanese Literature
"This book examines the development of Japanese literature depicting the native place (furusato) from the mid-Meiji period through the late 1930s as a way of articulating the uprootedness and sense of loss many experienced as Japan modernized. The 1890s witnessed the appearance of fictional works describing a city dweller who returns to his native place, where he reflects on the evils of urban life and the idyllic past of his childhood home. The book concentrates on four authors who typify this trend: Kunikida Doppo, Shimazaki Tōson, Satō Haruo, and Shiga Naoya. All four writers may be understood as trying to make sense of contemporary Japan. Their works reflect their engagement with the s...
The Mom Egg
The Mom Egg, an annual literary journal, publishes sharp, inventive fiction, creative prose, and poetry by mothers about everything and by everyone about mothers and motherhood. In this issue The Mom Egg explores the nuances of Mother Tongue. Mothers are emissaries and guardians of language. A mother murmurs to her infant son. Mother's words hold power to hurt or heal. A new immigrant struggles to learn English; later generations, to cling to remnants of language and culture. Mother Tongue speaks out. Mother Tongue has been silenced-and freed. Mother Tongue names. Mother Tongue tastes and plays. A must-read for mothers and lovers of language, this collection will challenge, delight and inspire. "The Mom Egg is all about motherhood. It's about the bodies and minds of the women who do this gorgeous, messy thing, and I loved reading every page of it." Renee Beauregard Lute, The Review Review "...fine creative work like this belongs in the larger conversations about private life and women's issues..." Tanya Angell Allen, New Pages
