Quote:Publisher's Summary

�Writing is a craft you can learn,� says Roy Peter Clark. �You need tools, not rules.� In this essential guide, Clark distills decades of experience into fifty tools that writers of all kinds can use every day.

You may be crafting a newspaper story or an admissions essay for college. You may be writing a technical report or drafting your first novel. You may be a student or a teacher, a poet or a critic, a columnist or a blogger. You may be preparing a PowerPoint presentation or penning a love letter. Whatever your task, you can become a more fluent and effective writer - a writer with a purpose, a plan, and a workbench full of tools.

For example:

Tool 7: Fear not the long sentence. Take the reader on a journey of language and meaning.
Tool 28: Put odd and interesting things next to each other. Help the reader learn from contrast.
Tool 34: Write from different cinematic angles. Turn your notebook into a camera.
Tool 41: Turn procrastination into rehearsal. Plan and write it first in your head.

Clark works from the belief that every writer can grow - and should. Writing Tools shows the way.
