Writing Thinking

Choi Gang-hyun, Bonlivre Publishing 304 pp., 13,000 won

Writing is not easy. Everyone can write, but there are only a few who can write well. Writing becomes important in everyday life not only for students but also for office workers. Though it is a tough task to write well, it is becoming a very crucial weapon you need to arm with to succeed at workplaces.

This book is different from other books about writing as the author unfolds stories based on lots of his experiences in newspaper and broadcasting companies.

From the first step of making a headline to constructing anecdotes into a neatly-weaved, logical story, the author, a long-time reporter, illustrates writing skills in plain words.

Readers will also have opportunities to learn about some practical skills about public speech and presentation. This book — strong in examples and details — will be a valuable guide for those who have trouble writing various articles or reports at their workplaces.

There is no royal road to become a good writer except reading a lot. This book is a good read for those wanting to sharpen their writing capability.
