One of America's most influential writing teachers offers a toolbox from which writers of all kinds can draw practical inspiration."e;Writing is a craft you can learn,"e; says Roy Peter Clark. "e;You need tools, not rules."e; His book distills decades of experience into 50 tools that will help any writer become more fluent and effective. WRITING TOOLS covers everything from the most basic ("e;Tool 5: Watch those adverbs"e;) to the more complex ("e;Tool 34: Turn your notebook into a camera"e;) and provides more than 200 examples from literature and journalism to illustrate the concepts. For students, aspiring novelists, and writers of memos, e-mails, PowerPoint presentations, and love letters, here are 50 indispensable, memorable, and usable tools. "e;Pull out a favorite novel or short story, and read it with the guidance of Clark's ideas. . . . Readers will find new worlds in familiar places. And writers will be inspired to pick up their pens."e; -Boston Globe"e;For all the aspiring writers out there-whether you're writing a novel or a technical report-a respected scholar pulls back the curtain on the art."e; -Atlanta Journal-Constitution"e;This is a useful tool for writers at all levels of experience, and it's entertainingly written, with plenty of helpful examples."e; -Booklist
