|  | Writing Heart by Nancy S. Aronie
With warm, lively, often humorous anecdotes, advice, and lessons, this unique approach to creative writing as a path to healing the self shows how to reverse the damaging effects done to writers in school, where red pens disciplined grammar and taught them to mistrust their natural ability as storytellers--freezing them in their creative tracks.

 | Non-fiction Writing by Vivian Gornick
As Vivian Gornick puts it, In every work of literature there's both a situation and a story. The situation is the context or circumstance, sometimes the plot; the story is the emotional experience that preoccupies the writer: the insight, the wisdom, the thing one has come to say. In addition to her own experience with the form, Gornick also draws on works by Oscar Wilde, Joan Didion, George Orwell, and Natalia Ginzburg in this instructive guide to the writing of personal essays.
