The darker and more dystopian the future appears, the more
influential public writers become. But with so much content vying
for our attention, and so much misinformation and propaganda
polluting public discourse, how can writers break through the noise
to inform an increasingly busy, stressed, and overwhelmed audience?
In Tell It Like It Is, bestselling author, writing coach, and
teacher Roy Peter Clark offers a succinct and practical guide to
writing with clarity, honesty, and conviction. By analysing stellar
writing samples from a diverse collection of public writers, Clark
highlights and explains the tools journalists, scientists,
economists, fact-checkers, even storytellers use to engage, inform,
and hook readers, and how best to deploy them in a variety of
contexts. In doing so, he provides answers to some of the most
pressing questions facing writers today: * How do I make hard
facts-about pandemics, wars, natural disasters, social justice-easy
reading? * How do I get readers to pay attention to what they need
to know? * How do I help contribute to a culture of writing that
combats misinformation and propaganda? * How do I instil hope into
the hearts and minds of readers? With Clark's trademark wit,
insight, and compassion, Tell It Like It Is offers a uniquely
practical and engaging guide to public writing in unprecedented
times-and an urgently needed remedy for a dangerously confused
world.
