world, and its connections between literary publishing and other
media. Focusing on the relationship between modern literature and

marketing strategies are utilized to promote and sell books.
Sections cover: The standard university-course specifications of
contemporary writing, offering an extensive picture of the social,
economic, and cultural contexts of these literary genres The impact
and status of non-literary writing, and how this compares with
certain literary genres as an index to contemporary culture and a
reflection of the state of the publishing industry The
practicalities and conventions of the publishing industry
Contextual aspects of literary culture and the book industry,
visiting the broader spheres of publishing, promotion, bookselling,
and literary culture Carefully linked chapters allow readers to tie
key elements of the publishing industry to the particular demands
and features of contemporary literary genres and writing, offering
a detailed guide to the ways in which the three core areas of
culture, economics, and pragmatics intersect in the world of
publishing. Further to being a valuable resource for those studying
English or Creative Writing, the volume is a key text for degrees
in which Publishing is a component, and is relevant to those
aspects of Media Studies that look at interactions between the
media and literature/publishing.

Can your child run rings around you, and always have the last word?
Is your child strong-willed and very independent for his or her
age? Do they refuse to take 'no' for an answer? If the answer to
these questions is 'yes', then it is likely that you have a bright
and challenging child. Whilst there are many positives to parenting
such children, it can also be very demanding. IT'S NOT FAIR! is
designed specifically for the parents of young children who are
independent, risk-taking and hard to rein in. It will help you to:
* Set and reinforce boundaries - and explain why you should *
Identify the issues and risks that your child may face - and help
them to prepare for them * Discuss sensitive issues together - such
as sex and drugs * Help your child to be more aware of the needs of
others
'Home-educators want to provide a high quality learning experience
for their children and this handbook is an excellent resource for
making this aspiration a reality' - Dr Adam Boddison, Chief
Executive of National Association of Special Educational Needs If
you are thinking of home educating your child, your initial
surprise may be at how easy it is to turn intention into reality.
Once you have deregistered your child, you are largely left to get
on with delivering education from home, as you see best. This book
is full of practical guidance for parents, based on the authors'
long experience of working with children and young people; their
parents, teachers and schools. It will help you plan what is
taught, as well as when and how. The authors not only consider how
to benefit from the opportunities home education provides, but also
suggest creative ways to fill the potential gaps that might arise
from not being part of the traditional school system. The Home
Education Handbook covers everything from the socialisation of
home-educated children to advice on supporting the motivation and
resilience of all involved. This is a book that every parent who is
considering home education or flexi-schooling, or is simply keen to
ensure that their child gets the best education possible, needs to
read.
One minute you are taking your child to school, the next they're
turning into a young adult. It may seem like only months since you
were first filling your child's lunch box, but the school career
moves with such momentum that it isn't long before they are facing
the challenges of further education, job hunting and living
independently. This new book will help you to encourage
self-reliance in your nearly grown children and prepare them for
independence in the real world. It also shows how you can prepare
for a time when your child's excitement at the prospect of leaving
school, going to university or just living on their own leaves you
feeling passed over and obsessed by detail they see as unimportant.
How do you start to think about what to do with the rest of your
life - picking up on ambitions, both personal and professional, and
prioritising your own friends and interests? And how do you handle
the situation when, as is increasingly common, children later
decide to return home to live? This book addresses current issues
such as boomerang kids, sofa syndrome and how to motivate, money
management for a generation disinclined to save, the hotel of Mum
and Dad, and much more. Later! is an empathetic guide to making
sense of life at a time when all the ground rules need to be
reconsidered, if not renegotiated. Packed with strategies,
exercises and question-and-answer sections, Later! is user-friendly
and entirely practical. It considers the hopes and plans of parents
and children alike and, in the process, demonstrates how to 'move
on' while sustaining a supportive, happy relationship.
