Creating the Joyful Writer: Introducing the Holistic Approach in the Classroom is aimed at educators who want to go beyond traditional approaches but don't know how. Schiller emphasizes physical, social, emotional, spiritual, and environmental elements (that is, the whole person) rather than just the intellect. She details background, historical development, and philosophical explanations for holistic education, including a timeline of key people and ideas. Teaching activities provide a context and exigency for writing and provide learners with the opportunity to use multiple intelligences.

Reviews for Creating the Joyful Writer
Susan Schiller delivers a blend of theory and practice that is stimulating to readers and useful to educators in K-12 and college classrooms alike.... The chapters are focused to help teachers integrate writing activities with other ways of knowing, such as music, art, dance, nonverbal communication, and acting. Schiller's instructional ideas place equal value on writing to know or discover, writing to show or demonstrate, and writing to connect to the self or to others.... Creating the Joyful Writer invites readers to use chapters separately or as a part of a larger, integrated writing program. Schiller's research, creativity, and organization make this book a great resource for educators of all levels.
Kia Jane Richmond, assistant professor of English, Northern Michigan University and chair of NCTE's Promising Young Writers Advisory Board I admire the way Schiller’s book broadens the possibilities for helping people write. One of the benefits for teachers is how, instead of focusing on instruction, she focuses on ways to set up unusual, interesting, and adventuresome settings in which people will find access to their own sources of creativity.
Peter Elbow, professor of English, University of Massachusetts?Amherst, and author of Being a Writer
