About the Book

REVISED AND UPDATED IN 2022

"Without peer." "Trust me -- it works." "Just the right blend of rigor, encouragement, and fun." "Both useful and a pleasure." "A bounty of usable information." Those are just a handful of raves for The Elements of Writing (previously published as The Big Book of Writing), the only comprehensive system for writing well.

Building on the latest research on learning and the brain, The Elements offers a complete apprenticeship on writing. Every skill in this book has been tested in college and high school classrooms, business and nonprofit seminars, and coaching sessions with authors.

The Elements of Writing is filled with case studies. In each one, a master of writing shows you a "trick of the trade."

So this book is really a group effort, with contributions from the ancients (Homer, Aristotle), timeless writers (Will Shakespeare, Mark Twain, Charlotte Bronte, Steven Crane, Virginia Woolf, Ernest Hemingway, Henry Roth, Robert Penn Warren), modern masters (Truman Capote, Milan Kundera, Robert Caro, John McPhee, Joan Didion, Tom Wolfe, Malcolm Gladwell, Elizabeth Gilbert, Laura Hillenbrand, Andre Agassi, Tim O'Brien, and Zadie Smith, Fatima Mernissi), historic figures (Lincoln, Martin Luther King), and classic films ("Casablanca," "Rear Window," and "Hannah and Her Sisters"), and more.

People in all fields -- high school, higher education, journalism and publishing, business and government -- have discovered the power of this unique system. Whether you're in business, school, government or nonprofit agencies, or journalism/blogging or publishing, The Elements of Writing offers a powerful to improve your writing right away.

Developed by author and teacher Charles Euchner, The Elements of Writing draws lessons from the masters to show the skills and "tricks of the trade" you need to write with clarity and power. The Elements also uses the latest research on learning and the brain to help you manage the creative process. Euchner is the author or editor of ten books, most recently the acclaimed Nobody Turn Me Around: "A People's History of the 1963 March on Washington (Beacon Press, 2010). Euchner has also written a trilogy of the world of modern sports (Playing the Field, The Last Nine Innings, and Little League, Big Dreams), studies of grassroots politics (Urban Policy Reconsidered, with Steve McGovern, and Extraordinary Politics), and works on regional policy and planning (including theGoverning Greater Boston series).
