Our take on the The Craft of Professional Writing, Second Edition: A Guide for Amateur and Professional Writers

A hardcover guide by Michael S. Malone for people who want to write for a living or write better on the side. It covers the practical side of professional writing: reporting, drafting, editing and the habits that keep output steady. The second edition updates the book for writers working across print and digital outlets. It suits beginners who want a structured course and working writers who want a refresher, though it is a broad guide rather than a deep manual on any single genre.
