Paperback. Condition: Good. "We're not exactly scene-stealers, so you don't hear much from us shy folk-and that's usually how we like it." -Elizabeth Zotova, "My Dear X" The pages of this anthology are filled with personal essays and poems of thoughtful musings, raw memories, and humorous self-examinations by authors and poets who have been labelled by the world-teachers, parents, and peers-as shy. Here, they proudly own up to their shyness, and their message is clear: they don't need to be "cured"! Why should they, when nearly half of North Americans consider themselves shy? Editors Naomi K. Lewis and Rona Altrows have enlisted writers from across the continent and have created a moving anthology that will appeal to all, either because we are shy or because we know someone who is.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Anxious Kid Makes Pretty Good is a candid, often wry collection of essays tracing one woman's life with high anxiety, ADHD, and recurring depression--and the winding, determined path that eventually leads to a vocation as writer and editor. After years of earnest but unfulfilling jobs, she discovers that the very traits that once felt burdensome have become part of her creative engine. Told in two parts, the first offers a memoir--"All Day Long I Wondered"--chronicling the author's struggles, stumbles, and small triumphs. The second, "Messy Process Does Not Mean Messy Result," gathers hard-won reflections on writing and the writing life, delivered with clarity, empathy, and humour. Both writers and non-writers alike will find insight, encouragement, and recognition in these pages.
