The Craft of Quoting helps student-writers develop the ability to
use quotes in such a way that their readers "hear" and "feel" what
the speaker is saying and understand its relevance to the topic at
hand. Students will learn how to write quotes with style, clarity,
and consistency. The book provides clear guidelines for mechanical
correctness, appropriate attribution, and paraphrasing. The use of
paragraph breaks for stylistic purposes is also addressed. In
addition, The Craft of Quoting sets out twelve "quote-nots" that
help students avoid the common pitfalls of using quotes in written
work, as well as nine essential quote patterns that enhance
efficacy and impact. The Craft of Quoting also addresses the
importance of ethics in writing, especially as these relate to
plagiarism and academic dishonesty. Practical and concise, The
Craft of Quoting is ideally suited to journalism students whose
reporting involves interviewing sources. It is also an excellent
tool for second-tier writing classes in which students explore
other people's thoughts and feelings in their work.
