Roy Peter Clark is senior scholar at the Poynter Institute and founder of its writing center. Cole C. Campbell has been editor of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, the Virginian-Pilot, and the Greensboro News and Record and has served as a Fellow at the Poynter Institute, the Kettering Foundation, and the Knight program for journalists at Stanford University.
Covering the writing waterfront-from basics on verb tense to the value of forming a "support group"-Poynter Institute vice president Clark offers tips, tricks and techniques for anyone putting fingers to keyboard. The best assets in Clark's book are in the "workshop" sections that conclude each chapter and list strategies for incorporating the material covered in each lesson (minimize adverbs, use active verbs, read your work aloud). Though some suggestions are classroom campy ("Listen to song lyrics to hear how the language moves on the ladder of abstraction" and "With some friends, take a big piece of chart paper and with colored markers draw a diagram of your writing process"), Clark's blend of instruction and exercise will prove especially useful for teachers. One exercise, for instance, suggests reading the newspaper and marking the location of subjects and verbs. Another provides a close reading of a passage from The Postman Always Rings Twice to look at the ways word placement and sentence structure can add punch to prose. Clark doesn't intend his guide to be a replacement for classic style guides like Elements of Style, but as a companion volume, it does the trick.

评分"這本書和How to Write a Sentense and How to Read One的性質差不多,都是將英文寫作拆分到細小的單元進行分析。它提到諸如語序的作用、長句子的構造和使用、每小節的長度處理、如何以影視作品的視角寫作等等問題,並一一給齣瞭答案。這兩本書我是一起看的,感覺上麵那本比較有效,這一本相對有點囉嗦。(不過也有可能是我還沒有需求精細打磨某個自己創作的文學作品..)"
