WRITING WHAT YOU KNOW How to Turn Personal Experiences into Publishable Fiction, Nonfiction, and Poetry Second Edition
Transform personal experience into compelling stories! It’s easy for people to write about their feelings in a journal. It’s more difficult, however, to convert personal experiences into stories worthy of publication—fiction, nonfiction, or poetry. Filled with engaging exercises, Writing What You Know guides writers in identifying story-worthy material and transforming their raw material into finished pieces, through conquering fears associated with personal exposure, determining a story’s focus, shaping the material into a cohesive whole, and editing and revising as needed. Writers working in any form will find this book invaluable for supplying them with the inspiration and practical instruction they need to get their experiences and emotions into print. In addition, they will learn to: • • • • • • •
Tap into difficult, guarded parts of their lives to tell the stories they desire Write emotionally intense material Decide which literary form is right for their stories Create the illusion of real speech with effective dialogue Tell their stories with authority Develop effective beginnings, middles, and ends Share their work with others and deal with reactions courageously
Files’s friendly, encouraging advice makes it a pleasure for writers to write the stories they are most passionate about. In an age when publishing can mean pushing a button on Facebook, Twitter, or a blog, there is an enduring urge to send stories out into the world. In an atmosphere of misinformation and lies, which social media and the ease of publishing may encourage, we especially crave truth. The time to start telling it is now. So many aspiring writers have truths worth sharing and stories begging to be told! MEG FILES is the author of Meridian 144, The Third Law of Motion, Home Is the Hunter: And Other Stories, and The Love Hunter and Other Poems. She teaches creative writing at Pima College in Tucson, Arizona, where she directs the Pima Writers’ Workshop.

This book is for fans of guitar amplifiers and the history that lies behind them. Starting with early amp models like the Gibson EH-150, which was first used with Gibson’s EH-150 lap-steel guitar and later the Charlie Christian ES-150 guitar, it then delves into the development of Fender, Vox, and Orange amps, and goes right up to the modern boutique designers like Industrial, Dr. Z, Fargen, and Fuchs. Also featured are such tube-amp classics as the Seymour Duncan Convertible, ahead of its time in offering tube switching before THD amps existed. Other amp designers profiled include: • • • • • • • •
Carvin Danelectro/Silvertone Engl Epiphone Premier Roland Seymour Duncan And many, many more!
Emmy Award–winning guitarist, composer, and producer Brian Tarquin takes on the unique subject matter of the electric guitar’s sidekick and partner in crime to create this informative and enthralling reference guide. Interviews with various amp makers as well as players and a foreword by Michael Molenda (Guitar Player magazine) will all bring the reader closer to those glowing tubes and tones. Guitar Amplifier Encyclopedia provides an expansive education on all the best amps’ every nuance and how they each changed the history of sound! BRIAN TARQUIN is a multiple Emmy Award–winning TV composer and recording artist and the owner of Jungle Room Studios. Tarquin’s boutique record label, BHP Music, Ltd., released the Guitar Masters series featuring such guitar legends as Jeff Beck, B. B. King, Santana, Jimmy Page, Joe Satriani, Zakk Wylde, Stanley Clarke, Billy Sheehan, and Steve Vai. Tarquin is the author of several books including Guitar Encyclopedia (Allworth Press) and winner of the 2014 USA Best Book Award in the Performing Arts category.
