By Dawn Josephson and Lauren Hidden, Ground Rules Press, $17.95, 144 pages (May 2005), available at book stores and online at www.cameopublications.com
According to a 2004 survey by the College Board’s National Commission on Writing, one-third of today’s workers don’t have adequate writing skills. If you think this statistic doesn’t pertain to you because you’re not a professional writer, then think again. Everyone is a writer to some extent. In their new book Write It Right: The Ground Rules for Self-Editing Like the Pros, authors and writing experts Dawn Josephson and Lauren Hidden seek to change this startling statistic by giving writers from all backgrounds the tools they need to effectively self-edit their work.
Whether you’re writing a sales letter to prospective clients, a research paper for school, or a proposal for work, you are a writer and you need good writing and editing skills to get your points across. Josephson and Hidden assert that self-editing is a crucial phase in the writing process, and even the most talented writers sometimes overlook the importance of it. In this book, the authors reveal the self-editing secrets the pros use to make their writing shine.
Self-editing is inevitably a unique experience for every person. Therefore, Write It Right isn’t a grammar manual or a style guide; rather, this concise volume breaks down the self-editing process into five no-nonsense steps that writers at any level can easily adapt for their individual needs. Step One helps writers identify their personal recurring writing challenges. Step Two makes time management and planning priorities for effective editing. Step Three gives tips for getting into an objective “editor” mindset. Step Four highlights the importance of utilizing friends who aren’t afraid to be honest. And Step Five guides writers through the final proofread and on to a successfully self-edited document. Every step allows writers ample freedom to adjust and develop their own self-editing system.
Each of the five self-editing steps is strengthened and supported by Ground Rules, Real-Life Samples that illustrate the Ground Rules in Action, Turning Points that guide readers’ thinking through each step, Frequently Asked Questions, and a summary of Key Points. The book also contains an appendix packed with grammar tips and ways to strengthen your writing.
No matter what kind of writing you do or what kind of writer you are, your readers will judge you based on the quality of the documents you produce. Write It Right will help you refine your writing and editing skills, clarify your message, and enable you to put your best foot forward.
As writers everywhere continue to struggle with perfecting their work, Josephson and Hidden’s advice is necessary and timeless. Their practical and highly adaptable approach will alleviate the seemingly daunting task of writing it right. By reading Write It Right, writers on all levels of experience will gain valuable self-editing wisdom and be empowered with the confidence and ability to eliminate the challenges that hinder their written words.
