How to Write Anything: A Complete Guide
E-mails are old-school; texts are becoming a wasteland of acronyms and abbreviations. If you’ve ever feared that written communication skills are dying quickly, don’t worry—this book is here to help! Comprehensive and accessible, the work guides users through just about any situation where the written word is necessary: social media for businesses, a plea to a professor for an extension, sympathy notes, wedding toasts, letters to the editor, and more. The first two sections cover the writing process and discuss writing in the age of technology; in the third section, Brown fills the pages with “Do” and “Don’t” checklists and a plethora of samples. Every library should consider having a copy of this informative and instructional book both in reference and in the circulating collection. --Rebecca Vnuk
