Latrice C. Goss Writing Style

Which presidential candidate leads the polls? Does belligerent racism personify Trump? Does Hillary have what it takes to deal with her Benghazi baggage? Does Bush have daddy issues? Does Carson pop sleeping pills? Does Sanders have a mind as crazy as his hair? Often, these topics lead to heated debates about who will truly make America great again. The media constantly divulges about “[the] Baggage, the Gaffes and the Billionaires” of the upcoming election (Dickinson and Kelley), and with the 2016 presidential election around the corner, the topic of politics has become a bullet nearly impossible to dodge. Maureen Dowd a disputatious Op-Ed columnist for the New York Times cajoles and educates her audience through the use of emotional appeals, a polemic writing style to argue controversial topics, as well as a dauntless and sardonic tone appealing to the audience, in order to convince the readers of her tenacious viewpoints against political leaders while also captivating and further informing the public about the political parties.

Hello, Ms. Kidkiller, I hope this email reaches you well. Recently, I just read two very promising manuscripts that have tons of potential to sell if they were to be published. The first manuscript is In Cold Blood by Truman Capote, a gripping story following two real-life serial killers before and after they murder the innocent Clutter family in Holcomb, Kanas. The manuscript’s contents are so vividly painted; it is nearly impossible to believe it isn’t the slightest bit fictitious.

It is being increasingly difficult to get recognized by a publisher though. The market has become flooded with authors and publishers are getting more specific. Online publishing, there are also not as many books being published anymore either. Publishers want to invest in something that will give them a return so they will play it safe and try to pick up authors with a name. More authors are trying to publish their works too, which allows the companies to be more selective. Publishers are often looking for a specific genre or story and will look for prospective writers in that genre. He says that some authors may become sell outs because they need the money, but it is not that common. He says that it is wise to start out as a self-published author to gain popularity and then hope to be picked up by a traditional publisher. His book God’s Acres, was published by Penultimate because they were specifically looking for books about Muskogee by Oklahoman authors. It is a tough job trying to be published and it will only get more selective as traditional publishing gets

Best selling author, car enthusiast, and competitive bagpiper, Margaret “Maggie” Stiefvater has it all. Whether she’s working on an animated trailer for her book series, or traveling around the country in her car spray-painted by fans, Stiefvater remains whimsical, and pushes boundaries. But it is in writing that Stiefvater shines. Stiefvater’s writing is melodic and provocative, and her stories are, at their core, about her characters; but beyond her talent as a writer, she is alive and lively, and constantly creating new content.

As a book lover, and author for a long time, I thought that It's time for me to give a chance to the aspiring writers out there who are dedicated and passionate in writing fiction books and other kind of stories, by helping them to publish their work.

It is indeed very fascinating to realize there are so many different writing styles and these are only two styles we have encountered so far in this class. It was very interesting to read your opinion of the author's writing styles, but just wanted to point out that you need to include some of the concepts from the WEAL handbook to back up your ideas for this discussion (so you don't lose any points). I agree that the story in Harold and Maude was teaching the audience an important lesson of sorts, but it was humor that made the book very light hearted and easy to read. World War Z was a very different book as compared to the movie especially, I wasn't expecting the book to be in epistolary style because I had watched the movie

Among the many books that I have read relating to history, when looking for examples when writing I wish to avoid the style used by Gar Alperovitz. Alperovitz is best known for his books Atomic Diplomacy: Hiroshima and Potsdam and The Decision to Use the Atomic Bomb and the Architecture of an American Myth. In both books, Alperovitz offers a history on why the dropping of the atomic bombs on Japan was not necessary and only helped to initiate the Cold War with the Soviet Union. I would like to avoid Alperovitz’s writing style as I feel that his works lack clarity and personal thought. When addressing clarity Alperovitz presents an idea or opinion in writings, but never follows through with the thought. The lack of clarity leads to the author

Hassan is a joyful person to work with. Well, he is competent and consistently depicting his understanding in of subject knowledge in the assessments. Hasson's attitude toward our school rules, the other students, and myself is reflected in this reporting quarter. He is capable of being a successful student with effort. I am impressed with his effort to complete the task when when he missed the classes for his Golf Tournament. Moreover, his excellency in reciprocal teaching to other classmate is praiseworthy. In contrast, he needs to learn to set the limit on his social activity involved in the class to promote the learning environment in the class.

Jeffory is quite the writer, he can cover all aspects of writing with no problem. Jeffory loves to be in a peaceful quiet environment with little to no talking. Jeffory also likes to listen to music when he writes, he states “the music sometimes brings thought to my head, and inspires me to write”. Jeffory likes to write on his own time, if he is forced to write his work will not be as superb as which it could be.

Nonfiction has become an increasingly essential component in the Language Arts curriculum, particularly in sates that have adopted the Common Core standards. This infusion of more nonfiction in reading, literature and writing classes has led to teachers looking for quality nonfiction for their students. As a result of this interest in nonfiction, nonfiction authors have been asked to visit classrooms and libraries. Three authors, Sue Macy, Wendell Minor, and David Adler share their experiences, and “take-a-ways” gained interacting with students during school visits.

"It is refreshing to come across an author willing to write about the business side of being successful in the current market place. I'm an older 'writer' and haven't always embraced many of the changes that have taken place in the publishing market. Writing almost seems the easy part at times, while getting noticed, bought, and read takes an entirely different skill set. Sure some of the mechanics Locke describes can seem a bit ... aggressive? Yet it has worked for him,

It turns out that putting an entire magazine together was not an effortless task, however, the collaboration has made the task way smoother. Besides, the great thing about collaborating with other people is that everyone got everyone’s back. Therefore, whether we utterly fail in the attempt, it did not cross our minds for one single instant.

Nick and Amy moved from New York City, where both were laid off from their previous jobs as writers, to Nick’s hometown of North Carthage, Missouri to care for Nick’s cancer stricken mother and his father with alzheimer's. The two have a quite imperfect marriage that is at times profoundly one-sided, but is disrupted when Amy goes missing. A search Amy quickly ensues, and as the investigation progresses, the truth about Amy and Nick’s not-so-wonderful marriage comes out for all to see. In this journal I will be predicting the possibility of Nick’s involvement in the case, questioning why the detectives won't rule Nick out as a possible suspect, and evaluating the dual perspective writing style in Gone Girl.

The genre of creative nonfiction is evolving and hot publications such as Penguin Random House and Fourth Genre are taking advantage of it. Creative Nonfiction Magazine deems Penguin Random House a top publisher for creative nonfiction because of best seller Unbroken: A World War II Story by Laura Hillenbrand. Its website houses Vintage International Series, which is founded in literary fiction and also published Anne Carson’s Planiwater: Essays and Poetry. Annette Gendler, a writer and photographer, who has published in the Wall Street Journal and Tablet Magazine rates Fourth Genre against the criteria of winning either a 2010 Pushcart for Nonfiction or Best American Essay of 2010. She also excluded venues who did not allow simultaneous submissions. Fourth Genre among the other eleven publishers mentions that they are looking for innovative work that is
