Inklings from Cape Cod is an eclectic mix of traditional and
non-traditional writing lessons and the pieces that they inspired.
Created primarily during a week at a Cape Cod summer workshop, the
book's selections are authored by students in 6th through 12th
grade. The writing pieces featured in Inklings span the gamut from
six word stories, to dramatic drafts and eclectic exercises to
crafty characterizations, private poetry, wordly wonderings,
fabulous fiction, noteworthy nonfiction, lively letters,
sensational settings, toddler tantrums, articulate alliteration,
and trustworthy teaching techniques. This collection, an accolade
to the young authors, has something for readers of all ages,
writers of all levels, and teachers who like to be wowed. This
coffee table text is unique with motivating mini writing lessons
accompanied by the inspiringly creative student responses. The
editor is a seasoned, award winning teacher and published
journalist. Thirty-six extremely motivated, enthusiastic Cape Cod
summer writing workshop students inspired teacher Stephanie
Boosahda to create this anthology. On the third day of the five day
workshop she found herself again saying, "Those pieces were
awesome. Seriously, they should be published." Responding with
total silence, the students from as far away as Michigan and Kansas
joined Cape Cod students in letting Stephanie's words echo, "Those
pieces ... should be published." So, adventure into the diverse
creative writing of these exceptional 6th through 11th graders, and
see why well-know authors have commented: "A joy to read, and an
awesome voyage into the creative minds of young, imaginative
writers..." - John Prophet, author of the Casey Miller Mysteries
"Fascinating and fun to read, with everything from six-word stories
to longer pieces, "Inklings" demonstrates the many ways an inspired
teacher can empower students to discover their creativity and
develop their own unique and powerful voices." - Leslie Meier,
author of the Lucy Stone Mystery series " ... If these young
writers continue honing their craft, the future of American
literature looks very bright, indeed."- Elizabeth Moisan, author of
Master of the Sweet Trade "These collected voices blend together in
a chorale of accomplishment. What a treat to read. What a joy to
know that future novelists, memoirists, and poets have been
fostered in this way to enchant tomorrow's readers." - Kathryn C.
Dunlap, Director; Buzzards Bay Writing Project, Nat'l Writing
Project; University of Massachusetts - Dartmouth "Stephanie's
design of the Workshop clearly provided an atmosphere of safety,
trust, and risk-taking in writing that is obvious in the breadth
and depth of the selections in this anthology. A wonderful read and
a great resource." -K. Victoria Kazer-Townsend, retired English AP
professor Delve into Inklings, enjoy, and be inspired. There's
something for everyone in this eclectic read.
