As you flip through the worn pages of The Diary of a Young Girl, Anne Frank’s spirit jumps off the pages, her words as alive today as they were in the cramped quarters of the Secret Annex where they were first penned. Here, we find the essence of Anne’s belief in the power of writing: “I can shake off everything as I write; my sorrows disappear, my courage is reborn.”
Anne’s story isn’t just one of enduring through the unendurable; it’s about finding an outlet—writing—that allowed a young girl to maintain her humanity amidst the inhumanity surrounding her. In the quiet isolation of her hiding place, the pages of her diary became her confidant and canvas. She inscribed not just the daily happenings of a life in hiding but also her transformation from a girl into a thoughtful chronicler of her existence and the world at war outside her hidden door.
Her story might have been confined to the walls of her hiding place, but the relationship she shared with her father, Otto Frank, broke those boundaries. Otto became the keeper of her legacy, the one who, after the war, bravely chose to share Anne’s diary with the world. Through his eyes, we see a different facet of Anne’s story—one of a legacy preserved and shared. This narrative has prompted conversations and education on the Holocaust for decades.
Anne’s words have since become a touchstone for human rights education. Her diary is often the first encounter many have with the personal side of the Holocaust, transforming numbers and dates into a relatable story of a life interrupted. Schools across the globe use her diary to teach about the past, but more importantly, about the values that must guide our future: empathy, tolerance, and the dignity of all people.
The legacy of Anne Frank reminds us of the power of the stories we tell. Her diary has taught us that writing can be more than a personal refuge; it can be a social catalyst. It can change perspectives, challenge prejudices, and offer solace. Anne’s story encourages every writer to consider the impact of their words, strive for truth, and believe in their voice’s power to affect change.
So, let’s take a leaf out of Anne’s diary. Let’s recognize the might of the written word and use it to confront the shadows in our world. Let’s write to remember the past and to dream of a better future. Let’s write, as Anne did, to witness the stories that must be told.
Explore the depths of The Diary of a Young Girl and let Anne’s unwavering spirit inspire you. Let her courage remind you that each of us has the power to confront darkness with the light of our words. And maybe, just maybe, in writing, we can find the courage to rebirth our worlds, just as Anne did.
The voice of Anne Frank remains a testament to the indomitable human spirit and the transformative power of writing. Her diary, more than just a historical document, is an invitation—a call to action for all of us to use our words to engage, remember, and hope.

Cortex is for serious authors and will probably not be of interest to hobbyists. We recorded our Cortex training and information meeting.

Correction:
We take the quote by Marcella Smith, Small Press Business Manager, Barnes & Noble seriously: “The author is essential to the success of the book, giving energy behind the book to make it something that a customer will come in and ask for. That is what makes the difference in a book that sells, that develops legs, and has a life of its own. Otherwise the book goes on the shelf and stays there for three months. Then it gets returned.”

We hear authors complain about all the personal stuff on Facebook. Most of these complaints are because the author doesn’t understand the difference difference between a Facebook profile and a Facebook page. Simply put, a profile is for personal things for friends and family; a page is for business. If your book is just a hobby, then it’s fine to have only a Facebook profile and make your posts for friends and family; however, if you’re serious about your writing, and it’s a business with you, or you want it to be business, then you need a Facebook page as an author. It’s simple to tell if it’s a page or a profile. A profile shows how many friends and a page shows how many likes. Here’s a link <> to a straight forward description on how to set up your author Facebook page.
