How to Write

Communicating Ideas and Information

By Herbert E. and Jill M. Meyers

Published by Storm King Press

This is a basic how-to on writing for all purposes.  As a homeschooling mother and an aspiring writer this is a must have.  It is a resource that provides step by step instruction on planning your writing, attacking your writing and perfecting your writing for publication or presentation.  It is clear and simple in its approach but the most helpful work I have found on the basic writing process in a very long time.  The process is logical and very practical. 

If you are a writer or a teacher this resource is one that will guide you and your students through a no fail approach to writing anything.  The book takes you through a three part approach to help you organize, write a draft and polish what you have written.  There are lots of tips and pointers that can be applied to any style or kind of writing from an article, an essay or even a novel.  The book is concise and easy to read.  There are no wasted words and it can be used as an ongoing reference.  The e-book format makes it readily available whenever you need it on your computer or laptop.  It is a handbook that will be used over and over again as you write and teach others to write.  The price is certainly right, too.  They are practically giving this valuable resource away for pennies. 

I think my most favorite part of the book is the use of examples to show clearly what is meant by each process.  There are plenty of detailed explanations and examples to help you on your way.  If that is not enough, they end the book with a section of questions and answers to the most common concerns or inquiries about their method. 

I recommend that anyone needing basic instruction on the process of writing ANYTHING or those seeking to improve their writing and communication skills check this resource out for yourself.  I can assure you that you will find something you can use to make your writing better.
