Six hundred and seventy four years ago a German blacksmith named Johannes Gutenberg invented mechanical movable type and founded the publishing industry. If he could return today, Gutenberg would be astonished to see what “movable type” means to twentieth-first century readers and writers on their c o m p u t e r s, smart phones and eReaders. Digital books now account for about 30% of book sales. Clearly, the eBook is here to stay and so is online promotion. Neverth e l e s s , the principles of strong writing still apply. With that in mind, we have designed an inspiring program for the 51st Cape Cod Writers Center Conference. On Monday evening, August 5th, you’ll hear from one of the publishing industry’s leading publicists, Brian Feinblum, chief marketing officer and vice president of Media Connect, the nation’s largest book promotion company. Meg Wolitzer, the New York Times best-selling author of several novels, will entertain and illuminate our audience on Tuesday evening, August 6th. On Wednesday evening, August 8th, we’ll hear from National Book Awardee Jaimy Gordon, about the challenges writing Lord of Misrule and other work. As a conference participant you will also be inspired by the classes you’ve elected fr om the 35 offerings taught by our prominent authors, editors, publicists and agents. Among them are sessions on self-promotion, creative nonfiction, speaking skills, branding your expertise, writing for middle schools students, emotional glue and on-line writing for fun and profit. Nor have we overlooked classes in traditional writing. These include, but are not limited to, writing poetry, thrillers, screenplays, fiction, editorials and humor. Among our outstanding faculty are novelist Bret Anthony Johnson, director of the creative writing program at Harva r d University; best-selling young adult writer Coleen Murtagh Paratore; syndicated tax expert Julian Block; acclaimed book editor Alan Rinzler; Edgar and Anthony Awa r d nominee, Steve Ulfelder; and Hollywood screenwriters Jule Selbo and David Himmelstein. Please look through the bro c h u re carefully and register as early as possible. We encourage you to remember that August is Cape Cod’s most glorious month. The R e s o rt and Conference Center features two swimming pools, a spa, a gym, a golf course, easy access to beaches, shopping, restaurants, and ferries to Nantucket and Mart h a ’s Vi n e y a rd. We hope you’ll also ex p l o r e the Cape’s quaint villages, art galleries, concerts, theaters and the sea surrounding our shore that has provided lite r a ry inspiration for writers for many generations. Nancy Rubin Stuart, Executive Director Kevin Symmons, President Cape Cod Writers Center Cape Cod Writers Center 2 Today at the Cape Cod Writers Center Welcome to the Cape Cod Writers Center, one of the oldest and most beloved literary conferences in the nation. In 1963 a local group of writers, the Twelve o’Clock Scholars, asked prominent authors summering on the Cape to lecture and teach. Under the leadership of founder Marion Vui l l e u m i e r , the Cape Cod Writers Conferen c e evolved from a regional writers’ retreat into one commanding national attention. Today over 400 aspiring and published authors are members of the Cape Cod Wri t e r s C e n t e r. The annual summer conference remains its largest event, but the Center hosts various l i ter a r y activities throughout the year. Our Programs Include: Writers Groups in fiction, nonfiction, and poetry meet regularly, offering fellow writers feedback and constructive criticism towards the goal of publication. Writers Night Out a re monthly meetings over d i n n e r which prov i d e networking opportunities for authors and poets. Each meeting features craft sessions, inspirational talks, and state-of-the-art p romotion techniques. Pathways to Publication pr esents one-day or weekend seminars in a variety of li t e r a r y, editorial, marketing skills, presented by prominent authors, editors, and agents. Young Writers Pro g r a m p rovides Cape Cod s t udents with a week-long opportunity to attend classes taught by professional writers. These are held during the summer Conference. Tomorrow’s Writers Today is a program open to students (ages 12-18) of Barnstable County to study with acclaimed authors in Saturday workshops during the school year. Books and the World, a community television program, showcases authors and their works in half-hour interviews. Breakfast with the Authors hosts author talks and book signings which are open to the public.

With her trademark blend of humor and melancholy, Berlin crafts miracles from the everyday—uncovering moments of grace in the cafeterias and Laundromats of the American Southwest, in the homes of the Northern California upperclass from the perspective of a cleaning woman, alone in a hotel dining room in Mexico City. The women of Berlin's stories are lost, but they are also strong, clever, and extraordinarily real. They are hitchhikers, hard workers, bad Christians. They navigate a world of jockeys, doctors, and switchboard operators with the wit of Lorrie Moore and the grit of Raymond Carver. They laugh, they mourn, they drink. Berlin, a highly influential writer despite publishing little in her lifetime, conjures these women across California, Mexico, and beyond. Lovers of the short story will not want to miss this remarkable collection from a master of the form. Lucia Berlin was born in 1936. Her earliest work was published when she was twenty-four, in The Atlantic Monthly and in Saul Bellow and Keith Botsford's journal The Noble Savage.

  • A Human Geographical Exploration of Adventure Motorcycling
    A Human Geographical Exploration of Adventure Motorcycling Freedom to move, freedom to feel, freedom to choose being a Thesis submitted for the Degree of Master of Science in Geography in the University of Hull by Gabriëlle Stephanie Wolferink – Schaap, BA Supervised by: Dr. Mitch Rose Professor David Atkinson September 2013 G.S. Wolferink -Schaap – Adventure Motorcycling With the purr of the engine beneath me And the warmth of the high sun above, I’ll go over the distant horizon Along the country lanes that I love Wild wood flowers and fruit will be growing, Winding rivers flow down to the sea, On my revered traveling companion, I lay claim to my life of the free. Theresa Wallach (2011, p.174) p. 1 G.S. Wolferink -Schaap – Adventure Motorcycling Abstract Freedom is a term that is used often when an adventure motorcyclist is asked what it is all about and when asked what it is what he or she experiences and why he or she engages in this activity. This thesis explores what adventure motorcycling is all about and how the sense of freedom that is experienced can be explained. Accepting that freedom is quite a broad, elusive and yet over-determined umbrella term, and focusing on several modalities of adventure motorcycling that all come with their own approach to what is dubbed as ‘freedom’, this thesis moves towards a more concrete understanding of what the adventure motorcyclist means when he refers to the simple term of ‘freedom’. The core modalities that are discussed in this thesis are firstly the interaction or combination of human and machine (motorcycle), secondly, the experience of the landscape, and thirdly, the philosophy behind adventure and challenge itself, which is approached as a rite of passage.
