Tell It Like It Is
,gravity=Center,allowExpansion)
In Tell It Like It Is, bestselling author, writing coach, and teacher Roy Peter Clark offers a succinct and practical guide to writing with clarity, honesty, and conviction. By analysing stellar writing samples from a diverse collection of public writers, Clark highlights and explains the tools journalists, scientists, economists, fact-checkers, even storytellers use to engage, inform, and hook readers, and how best to deploy them in a variety of contexts. In doing so, he provides answers to some of the most pressing questions facing writers today:
* How do I make hard facts-about pandemics, wars, natural disasters, social justice-easy reading?
* How do I get readers to pay attention to what they need to know?
* How do I help contribute to a culture of writing that combats misinformation and propaganda?
* How do I instil hope into the hearts and minds of readers?
With Clark's trademark wit, insight, and compassion, Tell It Like It Is offers a uniquely practical and engaging guide to public writing in unprecedented times-and an urgently needed remedy for a dangerously confused world.
