Register a free business account 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 VnukBrown offers crisp, succinct advice on how to write better complaint letters, business emails, apology notes, and much more. Students, business people, and even seasoned professional writers should keep it handy, right between their dictionary and thesaurus.” - Michael Snell, literary agent, writing collaborator, and author of From Book Idea to Bestseller “An invaluable guide. If your job or your business depends on delivering clear messages with impact, you need this book.” - Bernd Schmitt, professor, Columbia Business School “ How to Write Anything is the first book I've seen that addresses the very core of writing for today's digital communications channels. The lessons in this book are for everybody.” - Mary Olson, digital business design and development pioneer “As a writing instructor of over thirty years, I know full well the demands upon young writers. Laura Brown answers the tough questions on how to get started, how to craft tone for a target readership, how to develop succinct content, and how to master argumentation.” - Roger Marheine, assistant professor, Pasadena City College “To author a book called How to Write Anything: A Complete Guide, you have to be foolish, delusional, or be Laura Brown, who pulls it off with grace and wisdom. Brown provides readers with an overview of the writing process?the infrastructure on which all writing is built?and specific strategies for hundreds of situations. Of course, eventually writers have to face each task alone, but they will be well-equipped thanks to Laura Brown.” - Alan Ziegler, author of The Writing Workshop Note Book “Laura Brown's ability as a writing coach is unparalleled, and How to Write Anything offers the best of her guidance on business writing. Laura has a gift for helping business writers focus, refine, and develop their ideas, and express those ideas in a compelling way. Whether you are a CEO or a first-time manager, How to Write Anything will help you craft your message for the highest possible impact.” - Robert C. Daugherty, executive chairman, Knowledge Shares The author of The Only Business Writing Book You'll Ever Need and How to Write Anything: A Complete Guide, she lives in New York.To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.

Karen 5.0 out of 5 stars Insecure or inexperienced writers will find a clear, comprehensive, approachable guide that can immediately boost their proficiency and confidence. More experienced writers will appreciate side bars like the concise “dos and don’ts.” When we're under deadline pressure, such handy lists of correctives can save time and relieve stress. I was also impressed with Brown’s thorough, well-researched guide to digital writing. She captures the nuances of navigating social media. A handsome book as well, this makes a great gift.https://www.cocreationsmanager.com/blog/drywall-finishing-manual I bought it for a recent college grad just entering the workplace.I bought it for my college freshman and I would love to suggest other moms and aunts, etc. etc. consider buying this as a gift for every single young college person you know embarking upon his or her undergrad journey. It will be an oft-utilized resource. Very well written and EASY to understand and EASY to apply!It makes a great graduation gift that will be very much appreciated by the recipient. Of course, you will be very happy if you buy one for yourself as well. I originally took it out of the library and used it immediately to craft some thoughtful thank you notes. Now that I own my own copy, I can see where I will be getting a lot more use out of it, for writing effective letters, etc.I taught History for 30 years, hammering home the use of thesis statements, research papers, essay writing, the use of primary sources as well as secondary sources; the whole ball of wax. Former students have continually thanked me for teaching these skills. I get the feeling than Dr. Brown took my classes. Almost EVERYTHING I tried to instill in students writing is here, at least from an historian's perspective. In looking through this massive undertaking, there is information available (as the title suggests) on how to write darn near everything. Off hand, I can't think of a method of written communication that isn't covered. Something about assessing the Point of View of the person (or document) being used is an essential part of understanding possible biases inherent in all sources. Other than that, I'd recommend that EVERY high school student, EVERY college student, and EVERYONE who has to write as part of their job get and use this book. Get the hard cover version, you'll need it to last your lifetime!Very well thought out and a process that is not constricting. I just wish more people would read the section on how to write a holiday card -- would save so many of us from suffering through reading those too often long winded lists of personal successes each year. Laura Brown's coaching on how to write those and have the reader feeling engaged and wanting more is hysterical and spot on.A detailed survey, Brown's book takes the anxiety out of a wide variety of tasks, from writing thank-you notes to constructing college essays and blog posts. Comprehensive, professional, even witty (see the section on writing fan letters), it's an excellent resource.Worth every cent.It's an encyclopedia on writing, from email to condolence letters to essays and everything in-between. Beautifully laid out, clearly organized, incredibly clear and approachable. A book you can pull off the shelf and dip into from time to time as needed.

Groups Discussions Quotes Ask the Author How do you write a cover letter that will stand out. Wondering how to request a letter of recommendation for graduate school. Trying to craft a get-well note that will really help. How informal is too informal when instant messaging in the office. What do you write on the website for your small business? What How do you write a cover letter that will stand out. What do you write on the website for your small business. What should you say in a wedding invitation. Or a divorce announcement. With over 200 how-to entries and easy-to-use models organized into three comprehensive sections on work, school, and personal life, How to Write Anything covers a wide range of topics that make it an essential guide for the whole family. To see what your friends thought of this book,This book is not yet featured on Listopia.The answer is many. We write text messages, emails, and even the occasional letter (I love getting letters by the way!) But how do we know if we're writing the same thing. That's actually a really useful English test, but it's not enough. There are tons of situations and letters that we need to write and the The answer is many. We write text messages, emails, and even the occasional letter (I love getting letters by the way!) But how do we know if we're writing the same thing. There are tons of situations and letters that we need to write and the school doesn't have enough time to teach us. This is where How To Write Anything comes in. I tried reading it in one go, for the review, and I discovered one thing: This is more of a reference book than anything. Read Section 1, which talks about the elements of writing: Purpose, Understanding your reader, Brainstorm, Organise, Draft and Revise. Think of it as the crash course in writing. After that, keep the book as a reference guide. Section III is the encyclopedia of almost two hundred writing situations that you may encounter. Many situations come with a good and bad example (some only have a good example) and tips for how to write. Students who have situation writing, you may want to read through this. As a reference book, I think this book does the job pretty well. It won't teach you to be a writer of fiction, but it will help you write well enough to coast through daily life. Disclaimer: I got a free copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for a free and honest review. This review was first posted at Inside the mind of a Bibliophile I have mostly been reading the other two sections - work and personal. This book is great for any person that writes (or has to write) as it the perfect reference for any kin I have mostly been reading the other two sections - work and personal. This book is great for any person that writes (or has to write) as it the perfect reference for any kind of writing. I really like the eBook, and hope to get a hard copy as well. I think that if you'll ever need to write anything in your life -which is very likely indeed- it will be very unlikely you'll not find how to write it in this book. That are so many entries in the book. Even things I never imagined you could write; like a divorce letter (and a response to one). I think it's a go I think that if you'll ever need to write anything in your life -which is very likely indeed- it will be very unlikely you'll not find how to write it in this book. I think it's a good reference book if you need to write something but you don't feel to comfortable to do it on your own. However some things are repeated a lot (like that you should not write things online you don't want everyone to know; which is good advise of course, but is repeated in all entries on e-writing), and other things sound a bit more like a joke than serious advise (like: you don't NEED to write about flowers when writing a love letter. You don't say?!). But overall quite useful. However, for what there IS here it is highly useful and highly recommended. However, for what there IS here it is highly useful and highly recommended. This is a handy how-to, and it helps you figure out how to write just about anything. From thank you notes, to novels, if you want to write something and need some help, this is the book for you. Since it was a how-to, I didn't read each one, but I picked through enough to know that the advice is sound. And while I'm not one that usually has issues with writing, I found that I might keep it around, just in case. This is a handy how-to, and it helps you figure out how to write just about anything. And while I'm not one that usually has issues with writing, I found that I might keep it around, just in case. It starts with an easy to follow pattern for all writing and then goes on to include a specific outline for how to write literally everything from a thank you note, to an angry note to your neighbor, for real. Great book! I leaved through it and it's kinda entertaining in some parts. It is definitely going on my personal bookshelf. My Review It is definitely going on my personal bookshelf. My Review As it happened, I was blessed with wonderful English teachers in both high school and college -- teachers who inspired me to major in English, which. I wish the book had been available when I was in college more than 50 years ago. As it happened, I was blessed with wonderful English teachers in both high school and college -- teachers who inspired me to major in English, which led me to take up journalism as a profession. Brown shows the reader how to write everything: from letters of complaint, thank you notes, invitations of all kinds, speeches, cover letters for resumes, letters of recommendations, college essays, even book reviews. Yes, the book would be an ideal gift to any student. It's a book that's written in a style that's friendly and supportive. I've given a few speeches in my time and I agree with her statement that this activity is one of life's scariest experiences. In the speechwriting section (pages 408-412), she gives great advice on how to write the speech that's tailored to your audience, how to practice it before you get up on that platform (am I scaring you enough?) and how to have a friend critique it. In fact, having somebody you respect critique your writing is a great idea. Let's say you're applying for college. Brown shows how to write application essays that will stand out. Somebody is hogging the parking in your neighborhood, blocking your driveway. Brown shows how to write a note for the offender's windshield that won't end up with your tires slashed. A neighbor persists in putting out his garbage containers days before the scheduled pickup. Brown shows how to write the proper note. PowerPoint presentations are one of the most common tools in business, and Brown has spot-on suggestions on how to write effective PowerPoint slide copy. No matter how long you've been writing, you can always improve you work and Laura Brown has just the book for you. I had to purchase books on writing resumes, white papers, and research reports. In one volume, Brown has given us a guide to almost everything the average person will ever need to write. It will be an enormous help, and I am excited to include it on my shelf. But, it is also a great guide for anyone who writes anything. Should I had to purchase books on writing resumes, white papers, and research reports. But, it is also a great guide for anyone who writes anything. Should be in most every home. Just think for a moment. What are the writing tasks that confuse you the most. Resumes and cover letters, for certain, as well as business letters, email messages, condolence letters, and college entrance essays. Brown covers them all and much more. She includes the problems, pitfalls, and possibilities of communicating in the 21st century, including instant messaging, emails, and tweeting. However, Brown recommends the same 6 steps for each endeavor. They are: determine the purpose for the writing.To that, I would add one other step. Read it aloud. Here is what I have learned about reading something aloud. First, when you read it aloud, you don't miss mistakes that got overlooked with the spell or grammar checker on your word processor. Second, if you read it aloud, you will catch run-on sentences and things that just plain sound stupid. Third, you may catch misused words. Somehow reading a document aloud makes it sound like a different voice than your voice. Finally, if this really is an important document, have someone else read it aloud. They will most likely catch anything that you may have missed. I really like the format and the comprehensive nature of How to Write Anything. I wish that my international clients each had a copy because I am constantly being asked to write an email to a professor or a cover letter to go with a resume. Kudos to Laura Brown for putting together such an easily accessible volume. The website for the book: Laura Brown has provided a guide to almost every type of writing that will be required by a student, worker or any individual needing to communicate in correct and appropriate form.

Section I and II address the need to have a clear purpose and knowledge of one’s audience when communicating, including the need to revise over and over again so that one conveys a professional stance. These chapters often address the issue of not writing for and to one’s self but the need to know your audience with their needs and skills and to write toward a very specific person or group. The issue of knowing when to place a telephone call and when to write is also addressed, as well as the courtesy that is essential even in IMs and email messages. The text then takes the reader through all those life events that the majority of us experience over the years such as introductions, announcements, condolences, love letter (yes, even that), obituaries, weddings, births, baby showers, personal letters to neighbors, letters to oppose parking tickets, notes to teachers, etc., etc. The next section is so necessary, even though readers may wrongly assume these skills are taught in school, and include how to take notes, make an outline, and write summaries, research papers and essays in the different forms that different subjects require. This is followed by just about every type of letter one would need to write in the business environment and when seeking a job or a promotion. Examples of both the do’s and don’ts of each type of writing are very helpful parts within each section. Essential and important rules are highlighted in shaded grey boxes and circular graphs are included to assist one in progressing through different steps in each process. Correct grammar and punctuation complete the package. While this might not seem like endearing reading, it is a fascinating, comprehensive collection of fine writing in every imaginable form.There are several areas covered in this handy reference book from preparing a simple note to constructing a working resume to producing detailed recipe cards for the chef in you or gifting opportunity. Do you have a concern about communicating through business and social emails or social media message ads. There is no cause for alarm because information is plentiful in length including newspaper articles and a very useful section on creating surveys and survey questions. Again, all subject matter has detailed explanations, annotations, and summaries from writing a brochure and sales proposal to wedding vows to apology letters. This book is a handy reference guide for producing or creating written communication for personal or public use including novelists as I found good pointers on blogging and recommend to all who write for business or pleasure.However, unlike many books from W W Norton, this book is more a reference or guide book than a textbook or a general readership book.

In fact, I would go so far as to say this would make the perfect reference guide for high school students and college freshman rather than the general public even though it’s designed to cover everything and anything. My own copy is being handed over to my daughter who is entering her freshman year of high school. After so many years of standardized, fill in the little dot tests for math and vocabulary she’s all but clueless on how to write proper essays, letters and research papers which she’ll need to do for high school. This is just the book she needs to fill that gap in her education. Review copy received from NetGalley.
