Margaret Atwood is one of a few writers who defy categorization. Published in over 35 countries, the award-winning Canadian author is as beloved by critics as she is high school students, as prolific with novels as she is her tweets. Her experiments in narrative, form, and genre—as well as her poet's ear for prose—have persisted throughout her decades-long career, and they foreground an explicit yet elegant execution of progressive politics: Atwood is an avowed environmentalist and an advocate of women's rights (though she bristles at being called a "feminist" outright). Alongside all this is a persistent, clear-eyed examination of sex and the relationships between men and women, as well as a playful sense of humor and discovery; although she's well-known for her novels like The Handmaid's Tale and Oryx and Crake, she's also patented "remote writing technology" in the form of the LongPen and written a book to be published in 2114. We recently sat down with Atwood to discuss her long, varied career, the state of women's rights today, and whether she's noticed that speculative fiction books she published in the 80s have started coming true.

Margaret Atwood’s modern classic is one of the most stunning and powerful works of speculative fiction ever written, and it took a lot of careful consideration to determine who would best narrate this important book. Claire Danes elevates the frightening dystopic vision by lending a sheen of reality with her performance. She doesn't act, and she doesn't need to. She recounts. She breathes out the tale as if she is living it. Resigned, beaten down, traveling through hell by putting one step ahead of the other. I was utterly convinced by her performance.

10 Quirky Facts About Margaret Atwood
Since the release of her first novel, The Edible Woman, in 1969, Atwood has written fifteen other novels and several collections of poems, short stories, and nonfiction. Here at Writer’s Relief (WritersRelief.com) we’re big fans of Atwood’s work! And at 76 years old, Atwood has no intention of stopping. Her novel, The Heart Goes Last, was released in September of 2015. Atwood is reinterpreting and rewriting Shakespeare’s The Tempest for The Hogarth Shakespeare Project. The play is set to be released in October 2016.
Writer’s Relief presents ten quirky facts about Margaret Atwood.
1. Atwood contributed her own baked lemon custard recipe to Bon Appetit in 2006. The recipe holds a rating of four out of four on Epicurious.com based on user reviews.
2. She was an underground comic artist in the 1970s. Atwood wrote under the pseudonym Bart Gerrard, and often drew comic strips for This Magazine called “Kanadian Kulture Komics.”
3. At age seven, Atwood wrote her first novel, which was about an ant.
4. Atwood has admitted to eating bugs—a fact that makes us all cringe here at Writer’s Relief! She once told Toronto Life, “I have nothing against eating insects. Giant locusts are delicious toasted.”
5. She received a star on the Canadian Walk of Fame in 2001. Atwood is the first fiction writer to be inducted into the Walk of Fame.
6. Atwood is the inventor of the LongPen, an electronic pen that allows her to sign books remotely.
7. She doesn’t have a specific writing routine, nor does she write every day.
8. Atwood’s first book signing was in the men’s socks and underwear section of a department store.
9. She designed the book cover for Murder In The Dark using photos she’d cut out of ads for sunblock and caviar. Through our Self-Publishing Relief division, Writer’s Relief has access to more high-tech resources for creating memorable book covers!
10. As part of Norway’s Future Library project, one of Atwood’s manuscripts will be held and not published until 2114—100 years after it was written.

'Margaret Atwood' is featured as a movie character in the following productions:
Awaiting Atwood (2013)
Actors: Thom Fitzgerald (producer), Margaret Atwood (actress), Angela Baker (editor), Beth Mairs (director), Beth Mairs (producer), Beth Mairs (actor), Beth Mairs (writer), Betty Ann McPherson (actress),
Plot: Two washed-up, middle-aged adventuresses are under the delusion literary icon Margaret Atwood has invited them to stay with her in downtown Toronto. Having nothing better to do for the summer, they turn this into a full-on adventure traveling by bike and canoe from Sudbury to Ms. Atwood's front lawn. En route, they experience a series of misadventures, encountering themes and images from some of Atwood's best-loved novels.
Genres: Adventure, Comedy,In the Wake of the Flood (2010)
Actors: Robert Kennedy (editor), Ron Mann (director), Margaret Atwood (actress), Judith Keenan (producer), Bill Imperial (producer), Solomon Vesta (writer),
Plot: On the eve of her 70th birthday, Canadian writer Margaret Atwood set out on an international tour criss-crossing the British Isles and North America to celebrate the publication of her new dystopian novel, The Year of the Flood. But rather than mount a traditional tour to promote a book's publication, Atwood conceived and executed something far more ambitious and revelatory-a theatrical version of her novel. Along the way she reinvented what a book tour could be. But Atwood wasn't selling books as much as advocating an idea. Her primary concern was to do what she could to ensure the continued life of the birds of the skies-especially song birds. Atwood's odyssey is now captured in Ron Mann's new film, In The Wake of the Flood. Rendered as a fly-on-the-wall film verite, In The Wake of the Flood mixes new footage, archival materials and evocative CGI in featuring Atwood on the road and at home as an aging but buoyant literary rock star spreading a message of warning and hope as she staged and participated in the novel production. Margaret Atwood is, of course, one of the most acclaimed literary voices of this generation. The author of more than a dozen novels, numerous collections of poetry, children's books, and countless essays, Atwood's triumphs have been lauded on the highest levels throughout the world. In each community she visited, Atwood joined volunteer performers in a loose-knit, grass roots production drawn from the text of her novel. With its mystical, Blakean overtones, Atwood's theatrical version of The Year of the Flood acts as a song cycle that seeks to shake the human race into an awareness of the fragility of the natural world and our vital connection to it. To bring her novel into a live setting, Atwood teamed with Los Angeles composer Orville Stoeber to write a new style of devotional music influenced by the related genres of country ballads, gospel, jazz and folk. Each performance included a cast of local readers and singers taking the roles of different characters in key scenes from the novel. The events were primarily staged in cathedrals, adding a grand visual element to the proceedings and a layer of ceremonial gravitas. From Edinburgh and London to New York City, Toronto and Vancouver, Atwood emerges as a wizened elf whose rare sensibility is always in the foreground: a life and art coalesced into a unity of medium and message.
Genres: Documentary,Taglines: Book tours are for the birds!
Canada: A People's History (2000)
Actors: Maxim Roy (actress), Mary Pickford (actress), Daniel Pilon (actor), Luba Goy (actress), Theodore Roosevelt (actor), Franklin D.

Famous quotes by Margaret Atwood:
"I hope that people will finally come to realize that there is only one 'race' - the human race - and that we are all members of it."
"A divorce is like an amputation: you survive it, but there's less of you"
"I've never understood why people consider youth a time of freedom and joy. It's probably because they have forgotten their own."
"In the spring, at the end of the day, you should smell like dirt."
"The answers you get from literature depend on the questions you pose"
"We still think of a powerful man as a born leader and a powerful woman as an anomaly."
"Does feminist mean large unpleasant person who'll shout at you or someone who believes women are human beings. To me it's the latter, so I sign up."
"The Eskimos had fifty-two names for snow because it was important to them: there ought to be as many for love."
"War is what happens when language fails"
"Another belief of mine; that everyone else my age is an adult, whereas I am merely in disguise."
"Little girls are cute and small only to adults. To one another they are not cute. They are life-sized."
"Reality simply consists of different points of view."
"Science fiction, to me, has not only things that wouldn't happen, but other planets."
"I'm the only person you've ever met who has read Longfellow."
"We shouldn't be saying 'Save the planet'; we should be saying: 'Save viable conditions in which people can live.' That's what we're dealing with here."
"Reading and writing, like everything else, improve with practice. And, of course, if there are no young readers and writers, there will shortly be no older ones. Literacy will be dead, and democracy - which many believe goes hand in hand with it - will be dead as well."
"We thought we were running away from the grownups, and now we are the grownups."
"Our generation in the west was lucky: we had readymade gateways. We had books, paper, teachers, schools and libraries. But many in the world lack these luxuries. How do you practice without such tryout venues?"
"I'm not interested in cutting the feet off my characters or stretching them to make them fit my certain political view."
"I don't think the relationship between novels and realities are one to one. Of course novels play different roles. It's essentially just a long narrative form. What you use that long narrative form for can be very different."
Margaret Atwood

Iconic Author Margaret Atwood on Abortion, Twitter, and Predicting Everything We're Doing Wrong
Margaret Atwood is one of a few writers who defy categorization. Published in over 35 countries, the award-winning Canadian author is as beloved by critics as she is high school students, as prolific with novels as she is her tweets. Her experiments in narrative, form, and genre—as well as her poet's ear for prose—have persisted throughout her decades-long career, and they foreground an explicit yet elegant execution of progressive politics: Atwood is an avowed environmentalist and an advocate of women's rights (though she bristles at being called a "feminist" outright). Alongside all this is a persistent, clear-eyed examination of sex and the relationships between men and women, as well as a playful sense of humor and discovery; although she's well-known for her novels like The Handmaid's... -

The Handmaid's Tale Margaret Atwood Audiobook
Margaret Atwood’s modern classic is one of the most stunning and powerful works of speculative fiction ever written, and it took a lot of careful consideration to determine who would best narrate this important book. Claire Danes elevates the frightening dystopic vision by lending a sheen of reality with her performance. She doesn't act, and she doesn't need to. She recounts. She breathes out the tale as if she is living it. Resigned, beaten down, traveling through hell by putting one step ahead of the other. I was utterly convinced by her performance. -

Alongside all this is a persistent, clear-eyed examination of sex and the relationships between men and women, as well as a playful sense of humor and discovery; although she's well-known for her novels like The Handmaid's Tale and Oryx and Crake, she's also patented "remote writing technology" in the form of the LongPen and written a book to be published in 2114. We recently sat down with Atwood to discuss her long, varied career, the state of women's rights today, and whether she's noticed that speculative fiction books she published in the 80s have started coming true.

First televised Dec. 13, 1999.
In this interview, acclaimed author of The Handmaid's Tale Margaret Atwood discusses her life, literary fame, and offers insights into her novels.
The Power of Ideas features deep, candid interviews with luminaries from across all disciplines of science, the humanities, and government. Originally airing from 1997 to 2002, the show was underwritten by the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education and the Oklahoma Humanities Council and distributed by American Public Television. The Power of Ideas was filmed on the campus of the University of Oklahoma and hosted by Dr. Robert Con Davis-Undiano, Executive Director of World Literature Today and Neustadt Professor of Comparative Literature.
Despite their historical significance, these interviews have been unavailable to the general public for over a decade, and many of the master tapes are beginning to disintegrate. OU Outreach Film & Media Services has embarked on a project to digitize and preserve this outstanding program. We hope it will serve as a valuable resource for future scholars and researchers.
Special thanks to the University of Oklahoma Western History Collection and Dr. Davis-Undiano for their assistance.

10 Quirky Facts About Margaret Atwood
Since the release of her first novel, The Edible Woman, in 1969, Atwood has written fifteen other novels and several collections of poems, short stories, and nonfiction. Here at Writer’s Relief (WritersRelief.com) we’re big fans of Atwood’s work! And at 76 years old, Atwood has no intention of stopping. Her novel, The Heart Goes Last, was released in September of 2015. Atwood is reinterpreting and rewriting Shakespeare’s The Tempest for The Hogarth Shakespeare Project. The play is set to be released in October 2016.
Writer’s Relief presents ten quirky facts about Margaret Atwood.
1. Atwood contributed her own baked lemon custard recipe to Bon Appetit in 2006. The recipe holds a rating of four out of four on Epicurious.com based on user reviews.
2. She was an underground comic artist in the 1970s. Atwood wrote under the pseudonym Bart Gerrard, and often drew comic strips for This Magazine called “Kanadian Kulture Komics.”
3. At age seven, Atwood wrote her first novel, which was about an ant.
4. Atwood has admitted to eating bugs—a fact that makes us all cringe here at Writer’s Relief! She once told Toronto Life, “I have nothing against eating insects. Giant locusts are delicious toasted.”
5. She received a star on the Canadian Walk of Fame in 2001. Atwood is the first fiction writer to be inducted into the Walk of Fame.
6. Atwood is the inventor of the LongPen, an electronic pen that allows her to sign books remotely.
7. She doesn’t have a specific writing routine, nor does she write every day.
8. Atwood’s first book signing was in the men’s socks and underwear section of a department store.
9. She designed the book cover for Murder In The Dark using photos she’d cut out of ads for sunblock and caviar. Through our Self-Publishing Relief division, Writer’s Relief has access to more high-tech resources for creating memorable book covers!
10. As part of Norway’s Future Library project, one of Atwood’s manuscripts will be held and not published until 2114—100 years after it was written.

Margaret Atwood: On the Planet of Speculative Fiction
Experience award-winning Canadian writer Margaret Atwood in this humorous and vivid conversation about her works of elaborate ‘speculative fiction’, and how reality and science fiction are in fact inextricably intertwined. “It’s a little bit like running very fast, because you’re a split second ahead of reality and reality may not in fact take the turn that you thought that it would – or it may already have taken that turn and you just didn’t know about it.” Atwood operates within the science fiction genre ‘speculative fiction’, which for the larger part deals with things that could potentially happen. She has chosen to leave the tales of “first prize dragons” to others, and has instead made up a new human race, which is devoid of symbolic thinking, has built-in sunblock and turns blue ...

Experience award-winning Canadian writer Margaret Atwood in this humorous and vivid conversation about her works of elaborate ‘speculative fiction’, and how reality and science fiction are in fact inextricably intertwined.
“It’s a little bit like running very fast, because you’re a split second ahead of reality and reality may not in fact take the turn that you thought that it would – or it may already have taken that turn and you just didn’t know about it.” Atwood operates within the science fiction genre ‘speculative fiction’, which for the larger part deals with things that could potentially happen. She has chosen to leave the tales of “first prize dragons” to others, and has instead made up a new human race, which is devoid of symbolic thinking, has built-in sunblock and turns blue when in mating season.
A dedicated and declared environmentalist, Atwood is very occupied with the future of nature: species extinction, global warming, and “methane burping cows.” Moreover, she sees the rise – and return – of a green branch of Christianity as something which has been long coming: “People are now coming around to a much more holistic view of nature… so it shouldn’t be too surprising that Christianity is now connecting with its roots.”
Margaret Eleanor Atwood (b. 1939) is a Canadian poet, novelist, literary critic, essayist and environmentalist activist. She has been shortlisted for the prestigious Man Booker Prize five times, winning once for ‘The Blind Assassin’ (2000), and was inducted into Canada’s Walk of Fame in 2001. Furthermore, she is a founder of the Writers’ Trust of Canada, a non-profit literary organization that seeks to encourage Canada’s writing community. Among her novels are ‘The Edible Woman’ (1969), ‘The Handmaid’s Tale’ (1985), ‘The Robber Bride’ (1994),‘The Blind Assassin’ (2000), ‘Oryx and Crake’ (2003), ‘The Year of the Flood’ (2009) and ‘MaddAddam’ (2013) – the last three forming a dystopian trilogy. While she is best known for her work as a novelist, she is also the author of children’s literature and has published several books of poetry inspired by myths and fairy tales. She is also the inventor and developer of the LongPen and associated technologies that facilitate the remote robotic writing of documents.
