Commonwealth Universe, Age 1, Volume 14: The Peace Village by Michelle Levigne

Before the Commonwealth existed, there was an expanding, multi-galaxy civilization. Due to the combined effects of a too-aggressive policy of expansion, civil unrest, the inequality and abuse of the classes, and the categorizing of augmented humans as a slave class, the Central Allied Worlds (CAW) disintegrated.   The period of darkness and barbarism that followed is referred to as the Downfall. Various groups of people fled the Central Allied Worlds (referred to by its descendants/survivors simply as "First Civ") as…

Beyond Villains — Addressing Antagonists in Detail by Will Greenway

'Villain' is a dated term. It brings to mind a particular kind of bad guy that has become kind of a toothless foil in both the minds of writers and their audiences. These affably evil tropes portray some over-the-top black hat who has an inexplicable demagogic ability to attract hordes of henchmen, cronies, and minions. They bumble around carrying out their latest master plans with their enablers, dishing out head thumps and intelligence burns with comedic flare. It's fun, but…

Heroes and Heroines in Children’s Fiction: Why the Characters We Meet at Ten Stay With Us Forever by Writers Exchange E-Publishing

What makes a hero in a children's book? The question sounds simple, but the best authors have always known that the answer is more complicated than a sword, a quest, or a tidy moral lesson at the end. The heroes and heroines who endure in children's fiction are not the ones who win because they are strongest or cleverest or bravest in the conventional sense. They are the ones who are recognisably, stubbornly, vulnerably human, and who discover something true…

From Page to Screen: Children’s Books That Became Great Movies by Writers Exchange E-Publishing

There is a particular kind of anticipation that comes with hearing the words "now a major motion picture" attached to a childhood favourite. The imagination has already done its work, building Roald Dahl's chocolate factory from the inside out, casting Willy Wonka from some private store of faces, deciding precisely how dark the aunts' cottage should be in James and the Giant Peach. The question is always the same: will the film know what mattered about the book? Will it…

Laugh Out Loud: The Funniest Moments in Classic Literature by Writers Exchange E-Publishing

There is a persistent myth about classic literature. It goes something like this: serious books are serious all the way through. Depth means solemnity. Great authors were earnest, their pages heavy with moral purpose and grand themes. This myth does a disservice to some of the most brilliantly funny writing ever put on paper. The truth is that literary comedy is not a lesser thing smuggled in to lighten the mood. When it works at the highest level, humour is…

Learning Through Stories: Educational Themes in Children’s Books by Writers Exchange E-Publishing

There is a question worth asking before a child is handed a book: what exactly are they receiving? The obvious answer is a story. The more interesting answer is that they are receiving a way of understanding the world. Children's books have always done more than entertain. At their best, they are the first sustained encounter a young person has with ideas that matter: moral complexity, social difference, the consequences of choice, the reality of other people's inner lives.
