“Cecil­ia Manguer­ra Brainard’s Fun­da­men­tals of Cre­ative Writ­ing is a mar­velous text­book that com­bines use­ful tech­ni­cal advice on craft with beau­ti­ful prac­ti­cal exam­ples in her own sto­ries. Brainard’s treat­ments of writer­ly voice and left brain/right brain the­o­ry as it con­nects to writ­ing are among the best avail­able in today’s writ­ing text­books. Her sto­ry exam­ples cov­er a vari­ety of sto­ry types, tech­niques, points of view, and his­tor­i­cal as well as con­tem­po­rary top­ics and themes. This book will indeed help writ­ing stu­dents write strong sto­ries and improve their craft. Bra­va, Ms. Brainard.” (Vince Gotera, Writer, Edi­tor of North Amer­i­can Review, Pro­fes­sor of Cre­ative Writ­ing, Uni­ver­si­ty North­ern Iowa)

Welcome!

I am a daugh­ter of the Philip­pines and an adopt­ed daugh­ter of Amer­i­ca. I have also trav­eled to many places so I am also a daugh­ter of the Earth. My expe­ri­ences have found their way into my sto­ries, which try to depict char­ac­ters caught in impor­tant moments in their lives, sit­u­a­tions that force them to act, make deci­sions, change. I try to see the world from my own point of view, not the dom­i­nant West­ern one, thus my inter­est in his­to­ry, cul­ture, and set­ting. But my char­ac­ters car­ry my sto­ries; they are the most impor­tant in my sto­ry-telling. I have to dive deep into them to under­stand their human­i­ty – their good­ness as well as their bad­ness, their beau­ty as well as their ugli­ness. Just like us. Just like each of us. I need to know where they came from, where they are now, so I under­stand where they are going. Just like us.
