DESCRIPTION
Everyone Can Write is an easy-to-understand, practical, how to book that is accessible to everyone from a business executive wanting to polish his reports to a retiree wanting to chronicle her family history. It solves the problems that beginning writers struggle with by giving them an easy-to-follow and simple set of rules that allows them to write rapidly and clearly. The book outlines the three forms of nonfiction writing: report, narrative and essay. Each form is dissected and a set of rules is applied to each structure. The rules are easily put into practice and vary for each structure. For example, in report writing, two easy-to-apply rules are: twenty-five words to a sentence and three to four sentences per paragraph. The author has also developed a foolproof method of structuring your writing, so that you make effective use of your time. It’s based on the easy-to-remember three-step formula: Pre-write, Free-write, Re-write. Pre-write refers to researching the necessary information. Free-write refers to getting the information onto the computer screen. Re-write refers to the essential task of editing the writing into clear readable text. This technique allows writers to become the editors of their own writing, thereby dramatically improve its quality. The essentials of grammar and punctuation, easily confused words and other useful tips for writers are also covered. About the author: Howard Gelman is an associate lecturer in the Faculty of Arts at Macquarie University, where he teaches business and media communication. He worked in broadcasting, producing programs in Britain, USA and Australia where he was commissioning editor for the ABC. As a consultant to Australian publishing companies, he project edited many nonfiction trade and business books. He has also developed writing workshops for businesses in Sydney, London, New York and Chicago. He was inspired to write this book as he truly believes that ‘everyone can write’, yet found there was a lack of easy-to-understand, practical guides on the market that would be accessible to everyone.
