Description

A STYLE GUIDE BY STEALTH - HOW ANYONE CAN WRITE WELL

Joe Moran is an exceptionally astute writer, calm, precise, and gently humorous. Advanced mathematical knowledge has little practical usefulness and is understood by few. A symphony can be enjoyed but can only be created by a genius. However, good writing can be written (and read) by anyone if we dedicate our time to it.

We enter the world of the globally recognized historian Professor Joe Moran. From the Bible and Shakespeare to Orwell and Diana Athill, First You Write a Sentence shows us how the most ordinary words can be transformed into verbal constellations, sharing:

  • The tools of the trade; from typewriters to text messages and their influence on the art of writing
  • Writing and the senses; how to make the world visible and tangible
  • How to find the ideal word, build a sentence, and construct a paragraph

Good writing can ignite the hearts and minds of readers, help us observe the world better, and live more meaningful lives. And it is a power that we can all wield.
