Let a grizzled old pro writer explain the hard-won tricks of the trade in this light-hearted but immensely practical guide to successful writing of any kind.
About Secrets of the Professional Writer
Writing well is serious business. No matter what kind of writing you want to do, it takes study, practice, and not a little talent to write well. While you can't teach people to have talent, you can teach them techniques to make the most of whatever talent they have. Professional writers learn these things the hard way. They aren't really secrets, but many of them are not taught in traditional writing courses.
The Tricks of the Trade
Having learned the hard way, professional writers use these little tricks and techniques to polish their writing. You, too, can learn these wonderful ways to convert what might be uninspired, pedestrian writing into clean, direct prose that will delight readers, editors, and even professors and teachers (if you're still in school).
The Grizzled Old Pro
Richard Mann has been selling his writing to national publications for fifteen years. He has sold nearly 500 articles to national magazines and has written an e-book for a commercial publisher. His work has also appeared all over the Web. Rich is well known for his crystal-clear, easy-to-understand, practical writing, always delivered with a light touch. In no time, Rich will have you grinning, nodding your head in understanding, and wishing you'd known this stuff years ago. You'll want to dig into your next writing project, because you'll have new tools ready to use right now.
In this little book, Secrets of the Professional Writer, Rich delivers these matters in small, edible chunks, which he serves up to you in eight chapters. You'll love his friendly, accessible writing style, which brings these writing secrets into clear focus and helps you use them to perk up and clean up your writing.
