A new Loose Dog Press book: Human Teaching

Announcing a new nonfiction title from Loose Dog Press:

Are you a teacher who feels burned out? 

Have you considered turning to your typewriter? 

 Human Teaching is an energy boost for teachers, a personal meditation, and a testimonial to Chris Osmond’s passion for education and typewriters. We discover the insights he’s gained as a teacher of teachers, how he thinks with writing machines, and how he shares them with others through projects such as Typewriterfest. This innovative book combines word-processed advice, typewritten reflections, and whimsical illustrations by Tyler Osmond.

Chris Osmond is Professor of Leadership and Educational Studies at Appalachian State University, creator of The Human Words Project, and typospherian (he blogs at chrisosmond.com).

You can purchase Human Teaching, and read more about it, on Lulu or Amazon.

 

Evertype mail

Truly, my main motive for writing Evertype was to find out what it would feel like to create a world using typewriters and imagination. And it felt great! It would have, even if no one else had ever read the story.

But I am human, more or less, so it's gratifying to see some compliments from readers on Amazon, and still more pleasing to receive typewritten letters about the novel. A couple of correspondents say that the idea that got this story started—leaving the contemporary world behind—is a recurring fantasy for them. Not surprising for typewriter users.

If you'd like to check it out, it's available from Lulu and The Other Place. (And if you want to wait for something less affordable, a hardback edition should be ready soon.)
