Sinopsis

Sometimes you must dare to be different.Choker is a brilliant coming-of-age novel that immerses the reader in the drama of high school." - Readers' Favorite AwardsAuthor Bob Moseley writes fast-paced YA sports novels dripping with drama and realism.Be careful of what you wish for. Sixteen-year-old Mark Chamberlain always dreamed of playing in a state championship basketball game. But he never envisioned a nightmare performance that would bring utter humiliation and scar him as an outcast at school.Classmates begin to call Mark "Wilt" Chamberlain because he melts under pressure. To top it off, Mark's father won't come to his games. When it feels as though the world is against him, with the support of a beautiful girl, Mark tries to summon the inner strength and courage to be different -- just like legendary basketball star Wilt Chamberlain.With another basketball season beckoning, Mark is given a precious chance for redemption."An engrossing sports story. The game descriptions really put the reader in the action and ring true." - Literary Titan"The young adult reader will appreciate the action both on and off the court." - Verified review"I love it when you can feel the crowd." - Goodreads review

    Wording Around with Editing gives readers everything they need to get their first draft of any writing project ready to publish. 
    The first three chapters detail steps of the editing process and introduce the types of editing: Substantive, Stylistic and Copy. The next four chapters get into the nitty gritty of each of those, with an additional chapter on Proofreading. The final three chapters explain the importance of writing communities in helping writers bring their book to its very best form. 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. Wording Around with Editing: Getting your First Draft Ready to Publish is the second one in the series.
