The way we use language to tell stories reveals a lot about who we are and what matters to us. In Between the Lines, Julia Bell draws on almost thirty years of teaching to take us inside the writing workshop, where students from all over the world meet to share and discuss their work.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eShe finds that in this space a kind of alchemy occurs, where paying real attention to one another and what we have to say – the ultimate challenge in our atomised, ‘always-on’ society – becomes a profound emotional education. Weaving philosophy, psychology and politics together with stories from the workshop, and featuring wise, practical advice on how to go about writing, this generous and thought-provoking book is about the transformative practice of noticing and slowing down. It shows how bad writing teaches us good things, how creativity helps us to see and be seen, and how reading and writing together fosters connection, tolerance, more expansive ways of thinking, richer access to language, new perspectives – and a better understanding of ourselves and others. *‘What appears to be a guide to creative writing is actually a brilliant manual for how to exist in groups, to handle painful material, to grow together.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCould anything be more necessary or inspiring?’ Olivia Laing, author of The Garden Against Time\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Mount Florida Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56638504042882,"sku":null,"price":18.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/2180\/9347\/files\/9781398546639.jpg?v=1778422954","url":"https:\/\/mountfloridabooks.com\/products\/between-the-lines","provider":"Mount Florida Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
