        The craft of writing in sociology

        Developing the argument in undergraduate essays and dissertations

        by Andrew Balmer, Anne Murcott

        This is an indispensable companion for students studying sociology and related disciplines, such as politics and human geography, as well as courses which draw upon sociological writing, such as nursing, social psychology or health studies. It demystifies the process of constructing coherent and powerful arguments, starting from an essay's opening paragraphs, building evidence and sequencing key points in the middle, through to pulling together a punchy conclusion. It gives a clear and helpful overview of the most important grammatical rules in English, and provides advice on how to solve common problems experienced in writing, including getting rid of waffle, overcoming writer's block and cutting an essay down to its required length. Using examples from essays written by sociology students at leading universities, the book shows what they have done well, what could be done better and how to improve their work using the techniques reviewed.

        The Radical Power of Personal Narrative

        by Melissa Febos,

        In this bold and exhilarating mix of memoir and writing guide, Melissa Febos tackles the emotional, psychological, and physical work of writing intimately while offering an utterly fresh examination of the storyteller's life and the challenges it presents. How do we write about the relationships that have formed us? How do we describe our bodies, their desires and traumas? What does it mean to have your writing, or living, dismissed as "navel-gazing"-or else hailed as "so brave, so raw"? And to whom, in the end, do our most intimate stories belong? Drawing on her journey from aspiring writer to acclaimed author and writing professor-via addiction and recovery, sex work and academia-Melissa Febos has created a captivating guide to the writing life, and a brilliantly unusual exploration of subjectivity, privacy, and the power of divulgence. Candid and inspiring, Body Work will empower readers and writers alike, offering ideas-and occasional notes of caution-to anyone who has ever hoped to see their true self reflecting back from the open page.

        Your Writing Well

        by Dr. Bob Davis

        Fifteen essays for anyone in any profession or academic level, Your Writing Well studies every aspect of the writing process, providing faster means to better products than do narrowly focused trade handbooks and academic texts. Having combed through writing pedagogy and cut through nonsense about composition and grammar, Dr. Davis provides an all-inclusive set of theory highlighting logic-based skills and practical strategies to create, develop, defend, and communicate coherently organized, well-expressed thoughts. Not marketed for dummies, Your Writing Well assumes readers have the smarts to follow mature common-sense guidance, grasp examples, and thus compensate for their existing lack of knowledge of what to do, how and why to do it, and where. Informed not by needless prohibitions but by relaxed, reassuring balances of freedom and prudent regulation, Your Writing Well is a comprehensive cure for all writers’ ailments and deficiencies.

        501 Writers Useful Phrases

        by Quentin Cope

        501 Writers Useful Phrases 501 Writers Useful Phrases is a self help book for writers and authors, full of subject sentences and one-liners. You can use it as a ‘reminder’ tool when looking for a phrase or description of a particular moment that simply won’t come to you in a head full of words and characters. This will definitely not solve all your structural writing problems, and it’s certainly not designed to, but it is a great help at one o’clock in the morning when you simply want to get that last word down, with a smile of satisfaction, before curling up with the reoccurring dream of your next one selling a million.

        101 Fiction Writing Tips

        by Quentin Cope

        101 Fiction Writing Tips Fiction writing is thought by many would be authors to be the most popular published genre and therefore perhaps the best to be aiming at when considering a writing career. Current best estimates are that in 2016, published books will double in number from all of those in existence at the end of 2011. Unfortunately, it’s difficult to get two knowledgeable individuals to agree on what that figure is in reality. However, one reasonably sound statistic is the percentage of fiction and non-fiction publications now produced annually in the English language. The current estimates are around 30% for fiction and 70% for non-fiction. So, the lesson to learn there then, is that you may stand a considerably better chance of success as a writer by putting together a book of your grandmother’s best apple pie secrets than attempting the possibly thankless task of coming face to face with the prospect of writing a novel … a work of fiction … a work of fantasy, a work that will need to find a particular audience. This book is not an answer to that quandary and neither does it offer any form of guarantee to you as a potential author. What is does provide however, is a list of 101 tips of advice and reference to the writer who simply wants’ to ‘get on with the job!’ These offerings are provided from personal experience of both the self-publishing and traditional publishing routes. They are collected together in this short book format with the sole aim of supplying you, the potential writer of fantastic fiction, with a series of easy to absorb statements and explanations written in a language that is uncomplicated and to the point. Hopefully, some or much of it will afford you the help and assistance you may be looking for and therefore energize you in the pursuit of your writing projects.

        101 Writers Short Blurb Examples

        by Quentin Cope

        101 Short Blurb Examples With a limited amount of space available on a web page and with only a ‘thumbnail’ size image to wet your potential reader’s appetite, the ‘short blurb’ of up to 100 words becomes more and more important in the process of promoting your work as a writer. It’s now recognized as part of the smart marketing process, inviting a browsing reader to delve more into your Web link, eventually opening up your book … and reading the first few pages. Some fortunate individuals, along with many traditionally published authors, will have professionals employed to write ‘blurb’ for them, but the rest of us simply have to buckle down and get on with what is considered by many to be one of the most difficult processes of being a self-published writer. So, this little book will hopefully provide you with some useful assistance along the way by offering up 101 actual ‘blurbs’ written in short form and containing no more than 100 words. They are loosely edited into ten different subject headings, or writer’s genre, with ten examples under each heading, except for the last one, where there are eleven. After each example, a further distillation of the same subject matter is provided, defined widely with a certain amount of writer’s license, as a ‘Single Sentence’ … and both containing a word count as a confirmation of size. This is the second in the 101 series by the same author and a follow on from the very popular 501 series books for writers, potential writers and simply those of us who have an urge to get that sometimes elusive story down on paper.

        501 More Writers Useful Phrases This second edition of the ‘Writers Useful Phrases’ is not the complete answer to a ‘writer’s prayer’, but it is a great second line reference book of phrases you can use every day in your writing journey.

If you have the first edition, this book is divided in to the same ten sections as the original version with each one containing 50 short phrases, quotes, expressions or complete sentences to fit a particular subject heading. The last section contains 51 entries, again making a total of 501 for this edition. Hopefully, you the reader … and more importantly, you the writer, will gain something more from this second writers new phrasebook in the series. It will make a great reference book and a significant addition to ‘501 Writers Useful Phrases’ … not only at the initial manuscript stage in the production of your next epic novel, but at the tough edit stage where just one small adjustment can make all the difference.

        501 Writers One-Liners

        by Quentin Cope

        501 Writers One Liners This book of One-Liners is the third in the ‘501’ series. It contains a selection of one line thoughts and ponderings, many of which are amusing and some of which are profound. This offering is aimed mainly at writers and authors as a reminder pad of situations and observations seen through the eyes of someone with a sense of humor, or someone who has taken the trouble to actually sit on that mountain peak … somewhere, and think! The format is similar to ‘501 Writers Useful Phrases’ and ‘501 More Writers Useful Phrases’ in that the content is divided into ten sections with 50 ‘one liners’ in each section and 51 in the final section. If this little book does nothing more than bring a smile to your face at three o’clock in the morning, slaving tirelessly over the ending of Chapter Four, after a full day of looking after the kids or holding down a high pressure job for ten hours, then it will have been worth it. However, if only one of the offerings within these pages jogs a memory button, allowing you to construct that searched for finished phrase, then this can only be considered a bonus.
