“Ten years ago, Roy Peter Clark, America’s most influential writing teacher, whittled down almost thirty years of experience in journalism, writing, and teaching into a series of fifty short essays on different aspects of writing. In the past decade, Writing Tools has become a classic guidebook for novices and experts alike and remains one of the best-loved books on writing available.
Organized into four sections, ‘Nuts and Bolts,’ ‘Special Effects,’ ‘Blueprints for Stories,’ and ‘Useful Habits,’ Writing Tools is infused with more than 200 examples from journalism and literature. This new edition includes five brand-new, never-before-shared tools.
Accessible, entertaining, inspiring, and above all, useful for every type of writer, from high school students to novelists, Writing Tools is essential reading.”
