Summary
A special 10th-anniversary edition of Roy Peter Clark's best-selling guide to writing, featuring five bonus tools.
Ten years ago, Roy Peter Clark, America's most influential writing teacher, whittled down almost 30 years of experience in journalism, writing, and teaching into a series of 50 short essays on different aspects of writing. In the past decade, Writing Tools has become a classic guidebook for novices and experts alike and remains one of the best loved books on writing available.
Organized into four sections, "Nuts and Bolts", "Special Effects", "Blueprints for Stories", and "Useful Habits", Writing Tools is infused with more than 200 examples from journalism and literature. This new edition includes five brand-new, never-before-shared tools.
Accessible, entertaining, inspiring, and, above all, useful for every type of writer, from high school student to novelist, Writing Tools is an essential book.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.
Critic reviews
"Roy Peter Clark knows more about writing than anybody I know who is not currently dead." (Dave Barry, author of Dave Barry's History of the Millennium (So Far))
"Clark is a joyful, brilliant teacher who unlocks the mysteries of literary flow. This book is one to keep near the keyboard." (Anne Hull, national reporter for the Washington Post)
"Roy is the Obi-Wan Kenobi of writing teachers.... Like its author, Writing Tools is brilliant, openhearted, and indispensable; it's easily one of the best books ever published about our craft." (Thomas French, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and author of Zoo Story)

Incredibly helpful
So much good stuff in this. inspiring and full of practical tips and ideas. Enjoyed listening to this very much. The narrator was fun and a complete ham, but it worked with what the author was trying to convey. He kept the attention of the listener and made it light and fun as well.

Brilliant book, brilliant performance
I’m definitely going to listen to this more than once. The narration is lively. I really enjoyed the different voices used.
From a writer’s perspective, this is a good book to work through. Great advice, lots of examples and ample exercises at the end of each chapter to keep you writing for months on end.
