Grammar Girl Quick and Dirty Tips for Better Writing

774 - Roy Peter Clark on Civic Clarity


Listen Later

Roy Peter Clark has been teaching writing at the Poynter Institute since 1977 and regularly offers up some of the best writing advice I see. Today, we talked about

  • Writing differently during the pandemic
  • Living up to your duty as a writer to achieve civic clarity
  • Creating his new book, "Murder Your Darlings"
  • Learning that one of his best writing tips (which he shares) is as old as Roman times
  • Being a putter-inner instead of a taker-outter
  • Read the transcript: Roy Peter Clark interview.
