Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hundreds of books have been written on the art of writing. Here at last is a book by two professional editors to teach writers the techniques of the editing trade that turn promising manuscripts into published novels and short stories. In this completely revised and updated second edition, Renni Browne and Dave King teach you, the writer, how to apply the editing techniques they have developed to your own work. Chapters on dialogue, exposition, point of view, interior monologue, and other techniques take you through the same processes an expert editor would go through to perfect your manuscript. Each point is illustrated with examples, many drawn from the hundreds of books Browne and King have edited.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses the subject of the mechanics of writing. The desirability of mechanical accuracy is seen in composition--the only effective composition is accurate composition. The outward manifestation of accuracy in composition is accuracy in the mechanics of writing. The writer who is precise about the form of his thinking is particular about the form of his composition. Mastery of the various forms of the mechanics of writing allows the writer to convey shades of meaning that can be expressed no other way.

Book excerpt: Do you fancy yourself as a creative writer? Do you enjoy composing great works of literary art-meticulous texts, elegant e-mails, scathing or amusing letters to an editor, scintillating blogs, entertaining short stories, erudite reference books, unputdownable novels? Is there even such a word as unputdownable? (There is now!)Is your grammar up to scratch? Do you copy edit your own compositions? Did you know there are no officially-sanctioned rules for English grammar? There is, however, a multitude of opinions on what constitutes correct usage, incorrect usage, and usage that will attract attention-to boldly go springs to mind.I use what I call the bish-bash-bosh style of creative writing: bish the words down into a Word file, bash them around, and bosh them to perfection. If this is your writing style, do you know how to manipulate your embryonic text into its final magnificent form using the hidden powers of Microsoft Word (Styles, Paragraph Marker, Find and Replace, Spellcheck and Autocorrect)? How about graphics? Do you understand the copyright infringement perils of copying and using images, and text, from websites for use in your scholarly production? Finally, when you've finished creating, do you know how to self-publish as an e-book, or even as a something-to-be-proud-of paperback or hardback book?So many questions; so little time. Read this book and gain a head start into the heady world of creative writing and self-publishing.

Download or read book The Mechanics of Writing (Classic Reprint) written by Edwin Campbell Woolley and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-02 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Mechanics of Writing In order to write English in a way that befits an educated person, one must know a certain body of rules. The term rules is here used in a wide sense, including not only general precepts, such as the dictum that in a sentence "every part should be subservient to one principal affirmation," but also those numerous particular precepts which refuse to merge themselves into convenient generalizations - for instance, those to the effect that it is bad English to say "I devote my evenings in study" for "I devote my evenings to study," that the verb except should not be used in the sense of accept, nor the noun principle in the sense of the adjective principal, and that all right should be written as two words, the first spelled with two l's. When I say that one must know these rules, I mean that one must not merely be acquainted with them, but habitually observe them. Some of these rules are known and followed by nearly every person who has grown up in an English-speaking community. Nearly every such person knows, for example, the correct meaning of several hundred English words (that is to say, he knows several hundred rules directing how these words should be used); knows how to spell certain words, fewer than those which he knows how to use; and knows that the pronoun I and such nouns as John, Mary, Smith, and Jones should be capitalized. But ignorance of many other rules - which might easily be enumerated if there were any need - is shared by children in the grammar school, boys and girls in high school, high-school graduates of recent and of long standing, college freshmen, college seniors, bachelors and masters of arts, and members of the learned professions.

Download or read book The Elements of Writing written by Charles Euchner and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2015-05-15 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Without peer." "Trust me -- it works." "Just the right blend of rigor, encouragement, and fun." "Both useful and a pleasure." "A bounty of usable information." Those are just a handful of raves for The Elements of Writing (previously published as The Big Book of Writing), the only comprehensive system for writing well. Building on the latest research on learning and the brain, The Elements offers a complete apprenticeship on writing. Every skill in this book has been tested in college and high school classrooms, business and nonprofit seminars, and coaching sessions with authors. The Elements of Writing is filled with case studies. In each one, a master of writing shows you a "trick of the trade." So this book is really a group effort, with contributions from the ancients (Homer, Aristotle), timeless writers (Shakespeare, Twain, Charlotte Bronte, Crane, Miller, Hemingway, Henry Roth, Robert Penn Warren), modern masters (Capote, Kundera, Caro, Updike, McPhee, Martin Amis, Tom Wolfe, Gladwell, Agassi, O'Brien, and Zadie Smith, Mernissi), historic figures (Lincoln, Martin Luther King), and classic films ("Casablanca," "Vertigo," and "Hannah and Her Sisters"), and more. People in all fields -- high school, higher education, journalism and publishing, business and government -- have discovered the power of this unique system. Whether you're in business, school, government or nonprofit agencies, or journalism/blogging or publishing, The Big Book offers a powerful to improve your writing right away. Developed by author and teacher Charles Euchner, The Elements of Writing draws lessons from the masters to show the skills and "tricks of the trade" you need to write with clarity and power. The Elements also uses the latest research on learning and the brain to help you manage the creative process. Euchner is the author or editor of ten books, most recently the acclaimed "Nobody Turn Me Around: " A People's History of the 1963 March on Washington" (Beacon Press, 2010). Euchner has also written a trilogy of the world of modern sports ("Playing the Field," "The Last Nine Innings," and "Little League, Big Dreams"), studies of grassroots politics ("Urban Policy Reconsidered," with Steve McGovern, and "Extraordinary Politics"), and works on regional policy and planning (the two-part "Governing Greater Boston" series).
