Descriere The Art of Writing: Four Principles for Great Writing that Everyone Needs to Know - Peter Yang

\n \nDiscover the lost art of great writing.\n \nSince the invention of writing, the written word has fueled humanity's astonishing progress. Thus, the ability to write effectively and beautifully has long been revered and rewarded. \n \nAnd yet in the digital age, people have begun to believe that this talent is somehow obsolete: that writing is something unworthy of study beyond the basic mechanics of vocabulary and syntax and grammar, that mediocre prose is acceptable in a world crying out for clear and precise communication. \n \nPeter Yang believes otherwise.\n \nThe Art of Writing is Yang's highly practical treatise on the four key principles of dazzling, effective writing--economy, transparency, variety, and harmony. Far from your garden-variety style guide, the principles in this book apply to everyone, whether you're writing an inauguration speech or a letter home to Mom. \n \nGreat writing is a skill, and this book gives you the tools to make your words shimmer on the page (or the screen). Packed with real-world insights and advice, The Art of Writing is your ultimate guide to transforming your writing and unleashing your inner artist.\n \nFans of The Elements of Style by William Strunk, Jr., On Writing Well by William Zinsser, The Little Seagull Handbook by Richard Bullock, and Bird by Bird by Anne Lamott will love this book.\n \nThis book is for anyone who likes reading about: \n \n- \nHow to write\n \n- \nWriting nonfiction\n \n- \nWriting fiction\n \n- \nHow to be a better writer\n \n- \nWriting style\n \n- \nBusiness writing\n \n- \nWriting a book\n
