Beschreibung

Part-time Writer guides the reader through all aspects of writing – from the embryonic stages of researching and planning, to the hard slog of the writing and editing, through to the presentation of the manuscript, and finally, approaching agents and publishers. At each stage, the author explains how she did it – and how the reader can do it too. * How can I write engaging dialogue? * What can I do to make my characters 'live' on the page? * Must I always 'show and not tell'? * How can I transform a hobby into a book? * When is the right time to show my work to others? * How should I present my manuscript? * Do I need an agent? * Should I self-publish? * Where can I find the time to write a novel? In her inimitable style, Marjorie Quarton merges literary memoir, anecdotes and straight talking to provide invaluable insights into the realities of being a writer, while offering indispensable advice on the trade, making this book a must-have for any aspiring author.

    What did you want to be when you grew up? For a long time, I wanted to be a 
    walking talking real life superhero. For over eight years, I pursued that vision of myself in trying to become a Police Officer. With each attempt at selection, and with each letter of decline, I grew hungrier and more determined to make it. It’s answering the highest calling in serving my community, I said during my interview. The selflessness, the sacrifice, the unfathomable courage, and commitment to serve. 
     
    Finally, I had my shot. My dream had been realised. In three years, I served as a
     role model, and a protector for my community. I faced everyday what so much of society should never have to see or be exposed to. This is my story, a raw, honest, and open account of life as a South Australian police officer, and the most profound three years of my life. Violence, foot chases, car chases, mental health, domestic violence, and all extremes of human nature. I discovered trying to live everyday as a superhero, can bring its own personal struggles and conflicts. 
     
    I hope this serves to inspire others, who are considering and are already a part of this incredible career. It’s my humble pleasure to share with you some of the greatest lessons I learnt, what I experienced, and the awe I was in everyday of the heroic actions of the men and women who uphold that blue bridge that separates society from falling into all out chaos.

    In The Soil of Leadership, Dr. Britt Yamamoto presents a unique and memorable perspective on leadership that challenges conventional wisdom for guiding others. Drawing from his extensive global leadership experience—working closely with leaders and organizations from all over Africa, Latin America, Asia-Pacific, the Middle East, and North America—Dr. Yamamoto introduces a timely framework that places paramount importance on holistic well-being and a profound understanding of the intricate systems critical for effective and sustainable leadership. 
    Inviting us to “dig where we stand,” The Soil of Leadership seamlessly weaves evocative metaphors and captivating narratives from Dr. Yamamoto’s life as both a sustainable farmer and organizational leader. Through these vivid examples, he illuminates the profound notion that genuine leadership doesn’t solely emerge from visible accomplishments; rather, it thrives within the hidden roots that allow our true potential to flourish. 
    The Soil of Leadership serves as a compelling call to action, encouraging us to reevaluate our connections, not only with ourselves, but also with others. It inspires a transformative shift in our perception of time and space, fostering continuous reflection on our assumptions, perspectives, and purposes. This journey guides us toward a leadership ethos that unifies rather than divides, marking a significant milestone on the path to a brighter and more interconnected future.

    Locals are embarrassed, they wish their problem had not drawn the attention of these highly regarded foreign visitors’. 
    Encouraged by friendly smiles from the team, the boys cautiously make their hesitant approach.

    My Bondage and My Freedom is an autobiographical book written by Frederick Douglass, a former slave who became a prominent abolitionist and civil rights leader in the United States.

    In My Bondage and My Freedom, Douglass provides vivid details about the brutalities of slavery and the dehumanizing effects it had on slaves and slaveholders alike. He also discusses his own personal struggles with identity and freedom, as well as his advocacy for education and literacy as tools for achieving social and political equality. 
    Through his compelling narrative and powerful arguments, Douglass makes a compelling case against slavery and for the full humanity and rights of African Americans. My Bondage and My Freedom is a seminal work in American history and an enduring testament to the power of personal experience in shaping political and social change
