More depressing is the even longer list of book titles we know we need to read. The pile gets higher, the list gets longer every day. There’s always another seminal classic we haven’t gotten around to. It’s difficult to keep up, but as with any artistic medium, w

I wrote this for everyone and no one in particular. On FB I do not know most of the people who add me but that is never a bad thing as it’s always good to make new friends. For those I know I usually visit their wall whenever I feel like seeing what they are up to, I may not comment all that much but that does not mean that I don’t care about my friends or that I have no interest following the progress of junior artists and colleagues. The real reason I do not open the FB feed is because the large stream of junk information and Ads makes me cringe so hard I have to see a dentist. What I cannot stand the most are those rando

Publishing Week I'm so glad you're here. Because, as a poet and chapbook author, I get this question a lot. AND, since chapbooks are an important part of poetry publishing -- both in terms of what we consume as readers and what propels us forward as career poets -- any poet with publishing aspirations should know about them!

Usually between fifteen to thirty pages (though some folks say anything under 50 pages is a chapbook), these are like little samplers of a poet's work. Usually the chapbooks are pretty cheap, between $6 and $12, whic

Issue No. 2|Archives   Forewordby techgnotic (https://www.deviantart.com/techgnotic) ••• If the severely acne-scarred face and coarse exterior brought on by his alcoholic and depressed life was the book cover of his being, then Charles was the ultimate book that could not be judged by its cover. The exquisite collection that was this everyman artist’s art consisted of thousands of poems, hundreds of short stories and six novels—mostly all wrenchingly autobiographical, mostly all about moments of epiphany and grace in an otherwise miserable and unhappy existence. The perfect explication of the common man's deepest truth; it's not easy to be here.

:new: Updated 04/03/18 Big update! We've not actually had a full Literature "week" for PE in a long time, but we are starting to plan towards doing so this year, firstly a publishing week and then some future ideas. These articles no matter how old are still very useful, so please bookmark this and come back! Over the past few years, projecteducate (https://www.deviantart.com/projecteducate) has worked hard to provide educational articles for various art forms. Within literature, we've seen our fair share and we've used our own group CRLiterature (https://www.deviantart.com/crliterature) to manage these articles to ensure as much of the community can see them. However, sometimes we miss people and that's a shame because th

What makes a good comment? Anyone know? A good comment is not a one line comment, or even a one word comment! Now, I'm not sayin to go into a full on critique, but try and give the most feedback you possibly can. In todays tutorial, I'm going to teach you how! WWW, EBI Have you ever heard of EBI and WWW? WWW stands for What Went Well. In a comment, it is often essential to use WWW. Example: I really love the tone on the characters jacket. EBI stands for Even Better If. In a comment, this element is pretty much ideal. Example: Perhaps you could have added slightly more texture in the dogs fur, just to make it more realistic. Construction
