The book takes readers through the steps needed to reach a coherent first draft, then explains how to improve and fine-tune it. It covers how to organize and present information and why tone should be adapted to different audiences. It also explains when to use summaries, sidebars, bullet points, and other tools that make information easier to digest.
The book looks at popular advice like "Show, don't tell" and "Kill your darlings," and covers the proper use and attribution of quotations from secondary sources. It also gives advice on preparing a presentation or delivering a speech. Examples come from the author's own life and from magazine and newspaper writers, political figures from Winston Churchill to Barack Obama and Elena Kagan, and communicators from culture, sports, and politics.
