Book Synopsis



Writing doesn't have to be a chore! This graphic novel guide for aspiring writers will show you how to create your masterpiece.

Authors are artists! But instead of putting paint on a canvas, they put words on a page. Writing coach Mary McInerney (aka Miss Mary Mac) will show you how to use words to express yourself--and have fun doing it!

The writing exercises in this book aren't what you're used to! With Miss Mary Mac's help, you can unlock your creativity, find inspiration all around you, and develop a voice that's truly your own. When you use your imagination, writing is never boring. Follow the tips in this graphic novel guide and turn the page into your very own canvas.



Review Quotes




"Rendered in elegantly dreamy pastels, this book will both soothe and stimulate the scared or stymied creator; it's an ideal text for creative writing instruction and a surprising treat for unsuspecting casual readers... An eloquent and gently inspirational writing guidebook." --Kirkus



About the Author



As a lifelong strength-based educator, Mary McInerney is passionate about making students feel welcome in the world of writing. Her dedication to fostering creativity and confidence in young writers drives her work, making each day a new adventure in learning and discovery. As a mother of two adult children, she cherishes time spent with them and other loved ones, including her dog, Maeve.

Three things Rivkah LaFille loves: great taquerias, great sushi, and great comics. She can't make sushi for squat (though she makes a mean corn tortilla!), but she's been making and teaching the art of making comics for over twenty years. Her YA series Steady Beat was nominated to the YALSA Great Graphic Novels for Teens list. Currently, this native Tex-Yorker resides in the lush, tree-filled state of Connecticut, where she gardens her little green heart out. But she hikes it back to Texas and NYC as often as she can. Because tacos. And sushi. And of course, family.

Wonderful Read to Unlock Creativity

Mary McInerney’s book offers insightful strategies for developing a writer’s creativity. The author encourages the writer to find inspiration in the world around them, as well as everyday tasks. She emphasizes the importance of discovering and cultivating a unique voice. With each chapter, the reader will gain confidence in their abilities and a deeper appreciation for the craft. Rivkah LaFille’s exquisite illustrations guide readers through a visually compelling journey shaped by the narrative. The artwork transitions seamlessly from the library to the ballet, then to ancient Greece, at one point depicting concepts traced among stars in the night sky. The illustrations introduce diverse individuals—from those collecting shells on the shore to a figure moving quietly down a rain-soaked street to a young girl sampling freshly picked oranges. In a particularly engaging image, the writer pulls her ideas together– in her Supergirl’s cape! For writers and teachers seeking to develop their creative potential and express themselves more fully, this book serves as an invaluable resource.
