From one of America's most influential writing teachers, a
collection of 50 of the best writing strategies distilled from 50
writing and language books -- from Aristotle to Strunk and White.
With so many excellent writing guides lining bookstore shelves, it
can be hard to know where to look for the best advice. Should you
go with Natalie Goldberg or Anne Lamott? Maybe William Zinsser or
Donald Murray would be more appropriate. Then again, what about the
classics - Strunk and White, or even Aristotle himself? Thankfully,
your search is over. In Murder Your Darlings, Roy Peter Clark, who
for more than 30 years has been a beloved and revered writing
teacher to children and Pulitzer prize-winners alike, has compiled
a remarkable collection of 50 of the best writing tips from 50 of
the best writing books of all time. With a chapter devoted to each
piece of advice, Clark expands and contextualises the original
author's suggestions and offers anecdotes about how each one helped
him or other writers sharpen their skills. An invaluable resource
for scribblers of all kinds, Murder Your Darlings is an inspiring
and edifying ode to the craft of writing.
