"Begin sentences with subjects and verbs", is the first tool in Roy Peter Clark's "Writing Tools: 50 Essential Strategies for Every Writer". "Own the tools of your craft", the last. Pithy, entertaining, and always straight-to-the-point, "Writing Tools" sandwiches 48 more useful tools in-between, on "Nuts and Bolts" (words and sentences) "Special Effects" (tricks of the trade), "Blueprints" (organizational strategies), and "Useful Habits" for successful writers. Informed by Clark's thirty years as a teacher, writer, and journalist, every tool bears the stamp of his experience and lighthearted wisdom - from the usefulness of the suggestions (Tool 14: "Get the name of the dog") to the clarity of the prose itself. As fun to read as it is hands-on practical, it can be enjoyed straight-through or used as a reference as students draft, revise, and edit. Spiral-bound, the College Edition lays flat as students work at the computer. It is the perfect book to accompany a more comprehensive textbook, or for classrooms that don't use a traditional text at all.
