Discover the lost art of great writing.

Since the invention of writing, the written word has fueled humanity's astonishing progress. Thus, the ability to write effectively and beautifully has long been revered and rewarded. Yet, in the digital age, people have begun to believe that this talent is somehow obsolete. It is assumed that writing is something unworthy of study beyond the basic mechanics of vocabulary, syntax, and grammar, and that mediocre prose is acceptable in a world crying out for clear and precise communication.

Peter Yang believes otherwise.

The Art of Writing is Yang's highly practical treatise on the four key principles of dazzling, effective writing - economy, transparency, variety, and harmony. Far from your garden-variety style guide, the principles in this audiobook apply to everyone, whether you're writing an inauguration speech or a letter home to Mom.

Great writing is a skill, and this book gives you the tools to make your words shimmer on the page (or the screen). Packed with real-world insights and advice, The Art of Writing is your ultimate guide to transforming your writing and unleashing your inner artist.

Fans of The Elements of Style by William Strunk, Jr., On Writing Well by William Zinsser, The Little Seagull Handbook by Richard Bullock, and Bird by Bird by Anne Lamott will love this book.

This audiobook is for anyone who likes to know about:

Basics of writing Writing nonfiction Writing fiction Steps to be a better writer Writing style Business writing Writing a book
