How To Write Anything: A Complete Guide is a hardcover book that is everything the title suggests and more. Laura Brown has worked as a business writing coach, a ghostwriter, and a college and high school instructor over the past 30 years. In the introduction she states that she believes anyone can write anything if they understand the process.

Sharing her knowledge of writing through explanations and examples, Brown proves she is an excellent teacher who knows how to make learning interesting and fun. This book is one I will keep handy to use for writing - well- anything!

Section I explains the writing process, detailing finding your purpose, your reader, your content and how to organize, draft, and revise. Section II covers E-Writing and the Technology Revolution. Section III is by far the most comprehensive, covering entries in personal, school, and work writing.

With clear language, lists of dos and don'ts, How to Write Anything: A Complete Guide is a reference book that belongs in every home, school, and place of business. If you are not sure how to manage any writing assignment, you'll find an answer and a guide within. This book would make a great gift for a high school or college graduate as well.

I highly recommend you get your own copy of this book as soon as possible. Sure, it's easy enough to look for writing advice on the Internet, but to have it all in one book, so organized and thorough, is more convenient than you might think possible.
