A Six-Step Guide.
'This book is about what to do when you've chewed your pen down to the ink and you still haven't got any ideas . . .'
When you're faced with a blank page or computer screen and the words just don't seem to come, it's easy to feel daunted. You might be wondering "How do I come up with an attention-grabbing first sentence?" or "Should I plan what I am going to write before I write it?" or even "What should I write about?" It can be hard to know what to deal with first.
This handbook is designed to kick-start your writing by reducing the process to six simple steps. All you have to do is think about one step at a time - and each step is easy. The steps show you how to generate and choose ideas, and how to outline, draft, revise and edit your writing. And it doesn't matter what sort of writing you are doing - a short story, essay, article, review or report - because you can follow the same six steps. Each step is illustrated with examples and includes exercises to equip you with strategies to write confidently (and painlessly), one step at a time.
Written in consultation with educational experts, this book's user-friendly approach makes it a useful tool for anyone wanting clear and practical instructions on how to improve their writing.
