Description of Be a Better Writer: For School, For Fun, For Anyone Ages 10-15 (The Be a Better Writer Series)

Review KIRKUS REVIEWAs one would hope, Peha's fluid, engaging prose zips across the page. The book is calibrated to a teen audience not just in the direct, conversational nature of the prose, but also in the busy, eye-catching way that it is organized. More impressive still is the content, which dives deep into the minutiae of writing to make sure that the reader truly understands not just what structures are operating, but how and why they function. One suggested activity is crafting a passage with no punctuation to force the student to choose words that will communicate their meaning even in the absence of periods and commas. This combination of out-of-the-box thinking and the traditional tactics of composition makes Peha's work a solid choice for any teen attempting to get a handle on that big, mysterious practice known as writing.�Be a Better Writer�is an innovative and accessible writing guide for students.--Kirkus Reviews

Find your voice and translate your passion to the page so your readers feel it, too.'--USA Book NewsFROM A TEEN INK EDITOR'S CHOICE REVIEW'Be a Better Writer is truly a great guide to writing, one that can be referenced and dog-eared during hundreds of writing sessions. It's broad: it instructs on informational writing and fiction, and the techniques provided are applicable in all genres and writing styles. Topics range from grammar rules to organization tactics to giving a work personality. Storytellers will especially love the last chapter, which discusses plot twists, character development, and other things crucial to fiction writing. Be a Better Writer is accessible to everyone: even teachers, parents, and older aspiring writers (like me!) can benefit from what's inside. Reading this book provided me with new techniques, refined existing strategies, and led me to exciting topics. As I practice these skills, I'll do exactly what the cover promises and grow into the best writer I can be. Be a Better Writer will do the same for you.--Madison Shumway, student, Teen InkFROM THE CREATOR OF THE SIX TRAIT WRITING MODEL'The underlying purpose of a resource like this should be to answer questions real writers, especially students, ask most: What should I write about? Where can I get ideas? How do I begin? How do I end? What's a detail? How do I organize all this information I dug up in my research? Who the heck will read this and what do they care about? How do I make my writing sound more like me? This book answers every one of these questions, and countless others--and does so in a way that makes the information entertaining as well as easy to understand and recall. It's not a lecture; it's a conversation.'--Vicki Spandel, author of more than 40 books on writing instruction and founder of Six Trait Gurus Read more About the Author Steve Peha has been writing about writing for over 20 years.
