Business, Economics & LawWriting with Courage and Love
Better Content - More Results
by Dolf Weverink and others
It takes courage to write a good text. Courage to put the most important thing at the top and to write it in such a way, that everyone gets it immediately. It sounds simple, but it is harder than you think. You have to ask probing questions (i.e. 'What is the intention?'), and 'translate' the writers' intended message so that it immediately makes it clear to the reader. It also takes courage to be creative. To tell or show the message or story in an original way, and to add a touch of drama if necessary to spice up the content. And what about love? Ask yourself what the reader (or the visitor, the user) needs when she, he or they sees your content or message. If you love your reader, your target group, and your profession, you will start to write texts which are pleasant to read and will give you great joy to write. This will result in better advertisements, articles, banners, blogs, brand story's, letters, campaigns, flyers, brochures, etc., and your customers will return for more.

True stories2015Courage and Fear
by Ola Hnatiuk
Courage and Fear is a study of a multicultural city in times of great change. Olya Hnatiuk presents a meticulously documented portrait of Lviv’s ethnically diverse intellectuals during World War II. As the Soviet, Nazi, and once again Soviet occupations tear the city’s social structures apart, groups of Polish, Ukrainian, and Jewish doctors, academicians, and artists try to survive, struggling to manage complex relationships and to uphold their ethos. As their pre-war lives are violently upended, courage and fear shape their actions. Olya Hnatiuk employs diverse sources in several languages to tell the story of Lviv from a multi-ethnic perspective and to challenge the nation focused narratives dominant in Central and Eastern Europe.

FictionLonely are the Brave
by Larry Zuckerman
When Rollie Birch returns home from the Great War in 1919 with a cluster of medals, he feels as if he’s landed in the wrong country. His wife has died, leaving behind an infant daughter born while he was overseas. His small logging town of Lumberton, Washington, has grown but still runs on gossip. Almost overnight, Rollie the hero becomes a pariah for his scandalous decision to raise his daughter by himself - a child rumored not to be his - and for refusing to talk about his wartime exploits. The past two years have changed Kay Sorensen as well. Daughter of the Lumberton timber baron, Kay spent the war working for her father, organizing patriotic and charitable efforts, and discovering her love for politics and business. But when her husband—Rollie’s former platoon commander—returns, Kay expects, correctly, that he’ll make her quit her job. She’s dreamed of marriage as an equal partnership; now, she chafes under her husband’s cold tyranny. Did the war change him? Rollie might know, and Kay steels herself to beg information from a man her husband has publicly insulted. But neither Kay nor Rollie can anticipate how secrets, lies, and horrifying revelations may destroy them. Do two lonely, passionate rebels have the moral courage to stand up to gossip, defy cultural boundaries, and dare reinvent themselves in a world forever changed?
