    About this series

    Wording Around with Prose provides a how-to guide to prose writing that covers everything from the practical (How to structure a story) to the philosophical (Why write?) with loads more writing topics, resources and prompts in between.

     

    During the COVID-19 lockdown in the spring of 2020, poet and creative writing professor Kathy Mac (St. Thomas University, Fredericton) volunteered to teach a free online course called Wording Around with Prose, under the auspices of the Writers' Federation of New Brunswick. Wording Around with Prose: Getting a First Draft Out of Your Head and Onto the Page expands upon her notes for that course.

     

    "I like the way you teach, keeping it friendly and colloquial. Thank you for that." —Carlos Morales

     

    "Wording Around [with Prose] is one of the best creative writing classes I have ever taken." – Linda Glencross

     

    "The class was useful, containing a mix of theory and practical advice. I think it is a good first delve into the art of writing." – Rick McConnell

The next four chapters get into the nitty gritty of each of those, with an additional chapter on Proofreading.

Every chapter of Wording Around with Editing ends with a resource to help readers dive more deeply into that chapters' topic, as well as prompts that help authors take their first steps on each stage of the editing process.     "Kathy Mac is a 'writer's writer.' In this tight and mighty work, she cuts to the heart of what she's learned about process, craft, and loving yourself through the hard parts of writing."   – AJ Ripley    During the COVID-19 lockdown in the spring of 2020, poet and creative writing professor Kathy Mac (St. Thomas University, Fredericton, Canada) taught a free online course, the notes for which became Wording Around with Prose, the first in the Wording Around series.
