In Shifting Boundaries Monica Suswin shows how writing helps the writer to achieve a fluidity in relating to others. Her own personal examples of the type of issues which crop up in family and friendships demonstrates the shift and transformations that exploratory writing achieves. So we live better lives, and become more aware of how our boundaries influence us.

The author outlines different literary styles used in this genre of writing such as dramatic dialogue, the use of voice, metaphor. Many issues with family and friends may need disguising if we are to share our writing with others. In this book you will find guidelines on how to fictionallize uncomfortable memories and how to approach telling the story you want to write.
