A thoroughly updated and expanded guide to honing your public
policy writing skills-and making a significant impact on the world.
Winner of the George Orwell Award by the National Council of
Teachers of English Professionals across a variety of disciplines
need to write about public policy in a manner that inspires action
and genuine change. You may have amazing ideas about how to improve
the world, but if you aren't able to communicate these ideas well,
they simply won't become a reality. In Public Policy Writing That
Matters, communications expert David Chrisinger, who directs the
Harris Writing Program at the University of Chicago and worked in
the US Government Accountability Office for a decade, argues that
public policy writing is most persuasive when it tells clear,
concrete stories about people doing things. Combining helpful hints
and cautionary tales with writing exercises and excerpts from
sample policy analysis, Chrisinger teaches readers to craft
concise, story-driven pieces that exceed the stylistic requirements
and limitations of traditional policy writing. Aimed at helping
students and professionals overcome their default impulses to
merely "explain," this book reveals proven tips-tested in the real
world and in the classroom-for writing sophisticated policy
analysis that is also easy to understand. For anyone interested in
planning, organizing, developing, writing, and revising accessible
public policy, Chrisinger offers a step-by-step guide that covers
everything from the most effective use of data visualization to the
best ways to write a sentence, from the ideal moment for adding a
compelling anecdote to advice on using facts to strengthen an
argument. This second edition addresses the current political
climate and touches on policy changes that have occurred since the
book was originally published. A vital tool for any policy writer
or analyst, Public Policy Writing That Matters is a book for
everyone passionate about using writing to effect real and lasting
change.
