Extractions: (from, FREE WITHIN OURSELVES) "Good writing demands your whole self - writing freely, without limits, from your unique connections to your world. As an African American, you have incredible riches to draw upon, including a bittersweet history which created a new ethnic group capable of transforming heartache into art." Jewell Parker Rhodes Author Dr. Jewell Parker Rhodes, professor of American literature at Arizona Sate University and recipient of the National Endowment of the Arts Award in Fiction, offers help to artists and visionaries in Free Within Ourselves: Fiction Lessons for Black Authors. Not only is Free Within Ourselves a top-notch writer's guide filled with practical guidance, essays, journal exercises and resources for publishing fiction, it is also a celebration of African American identity, culture and art. "Never (in four years of college or five years of graduate school) was I assigned an exercise or given a story example that included a person of color. . While the educational system and the publishing world have become progressively more welcoming of African-American authors, there is still little attention to educating, supporting, and sustaining the writing process of African-American authors," Rhodes explains in her introduction. Now, for the first time, Free Within Ourselves offers a step-by-step guide to fictional technique and publishing know-how, tailored to the specific needs of African American writers.
