The Successful Writing Group

Embrace a Mentor

By: H Dean Fisher

The Successful Writing Group: Embrace a Mentor" - 20th Anniversary Edition Writing is a solitary activity, but writers are not solitary creatures. We need people, and we thrive in the company of other authors. Many times, we gather to share our stories so we can improve our craft. Those gatherings we call "Writing Groups." We learn from the best of each other: The people who encourage us to keep writing, help us learn the business, and - though it might be hard to hear - tell us when we've screwed up and how we can do better. It's the people who both honestly critique us and teach us better techniques who are the most valuable to our long-term success as Authors. Those people are the Mentors. Not all writing groups are good for us, though. Some groups are filled with members who hurt us. Their critiques are not given with love and support but with jealousy and vindictiveness. Some writers critique to harm, aiming their comments at the heart of the writer instead of the words on the page, or worse yet, they take pleasure in outright killing another writer's spirit. I call those people the Freeloaders. They take all of the good that a writing group has to offer, but they give nothing of value in return. Using my 20+ years as a member and leader of various writing groups in different parts of the country, I discuss what qualities to look for in a Mentor; various Freeloaders to beware of; how to transform a toxic writing group into a healthy group one member at a time; and the various methods of leading writing groups that I've found most effective. Because the Successful Writing Group is the one that embraces its Mentors and grows its Authors.

Law-Making and Society in Late Elizabethan England

The Parliament of England, 1584-1601

By: David Dean

The years leading up to this book's publication had seen a re-assessment by historians of the Elizabethan parliament. David Dean's book contributed to this development by offering the first detailed account and analysis of the legislative impulses of the men attending the last six parliaments of Elizabeth's reign. Examining a wide range of social and economic issues, law reform, religious and political concerns, and affairs both national and local, Law-Making and Society in Late Elizabethan England addresses the importance of parliament both as a political event and as a legislative institution. David Dean draws on an array of local, corporate and personal archives, as well as parliamentary records, to reinterpret the legislative history of the period.

1777

Tipping Point at Saratoga

By: Dean Snow

In the autumn of 1777, near Saratoga, New York, an inexperienced and improvised American army led by General Horatio Gates faced off against the highly trained British and German forces led by General John Burgoyne. The British strategy in confronting the Americans in upstate New York was to separate rebellious New England from the other colonies. Despite inferior organization and training, the Americans exploited access to fresh reinforcements of men and materiel, and ultimately handed the British a stunning defeat. The American victory, for the first time in the war, confirmed that independence from Great Britain was all but inevitable. Assimilating the archaeological remains from the battlefield along with the many letters, journals, and memoirs of the men and women in both camps, Dean Snow's 1777 provides a richly detailed narrative of the two battles fought at Saratoga over the course of thirty-three tense and bloody days. While the contrasting personalities of Gates and Burgoyne are well known, they are but two of the many actors who make up the larger drama of Saratoga. Snow highlights famous and obscure participants alike, from the brave but now notorious turncoat Benedict Arnold to Frederika von Riedesel, the wife of a British major general who later wrote an important eyewitness account of the battles. Snow, an archaeologist who excavated on the Saratoga battlefield, combines a vivid sense of time and place — with details on weather, terrain, and technology — and a keen understanding of the adversaries' motivations, challenges, and heroism into a suspenseful, novel-like account. A must-read for anyone with an interest in American history, 1777 is an intimate retelling of the campaign that tipped the balance in the American War of Independence.
