      Ideas To Help Polish Your Writing

      Aug 3, 2023

      For many people, ‘Give me a vowel’ will bring up an instant reference to the TV programme Countdown. In the context of the game show, vowels and consonants were linked to letters of the alphabet, with A-E-I-O-U being vowels and the other 21 letters c

      A weakness of novice writers – and also pot-boiler novelists with million-dollar publishing deals – is to use dialogue to divulge information. This is sometimes referred to as being expositional or explicatory. It is when characters tell the reader w

      The Final Word

      It seems strange to be writing an article extolling the virtues of preparatory reading in a magazine devoted to opera. Indeed, readers engage with Opera Canada to learn about singers, productions, recordings, and other aspects of the art form. Yet le

      Writing In Rhythm

      Jun 19, 2019

      Often when people talk about “the music of language” they make it sound like a mere frill, something we add to “dress up” plain writing. I don’t agree with this view. At the heart of language, I hear music—word-music, akin in many ways to instrumenta

      My 2-year-old nephew randomly selected some of the books in this series off the shelves at the local library. Seeing that they were labeled easy readers for kindergarteners through third graders, I thought they would be too long to hold his attention and too difficult for him to understand. I was pleasantly surprised to find that each spread contained only one short sentence of a text and a full-page photograph perfectly illustrating the text. With only 16 pages of “story,” these were the perfect sized books for him, and we went through quite a few in one sitting. For older readers, the book’s supplementary materials – a glossary, a “learn more” section, and an index – may also come in handy.
