Continue reading "How to write anything: A complete guide" by the Author: Laura Brown, PhD

Brown shows the reader how to write everything: from letters of complaint, thank you notes, invitations of all kinds, speeches, cover letters for resumes, letters of recommendations, college essays, even book reviews.
The author included examples of poor writing -- "Don't do this" -- along with much better examples: "Do this."
She also includes writing by contributors, including college students. The book has more than two hundred how-to entries and easy-to-use models organized into three comprehensive sections on work, school, and personal life. It's a book that's written in a style that's friendly and supportive. In the speechwriting section (pages 408-412), she gives great advice on how to write the speech that's tailored to your audience, how to practice it before you get up on that platform and how to have a friend critique it. In fact, having somebody you respect critique your writing is a great idea.

On applying for college, Brown shows how to write application essays that will stand out. Somebody is hogging the parking in your neighborhood, blocking your driveway. Brown shows how to write a note for the offender's windshield that won't end up with your tires slashed. A neighbor persists in putting out his garbage containers days before the scheduled pickup. Brown shows how to write the proper note.

PowerPoint presentations are one of the most common tools in business, and Brown has spot-on suggestions on how to write effective PowerPoint slide copy. On point she mentions deserves singling out: Just because your Mac or PC has dozens of type fonts, don't make the mistake of using too many in a slide.

"How to Write Anything" is at once a how-to guide and a reference book. No matter how long you've been writing, you can always improve you work and Laura Brown has just the book for you.
