Way to go Roy Peter Clark! We're thrilled to inform you that "Writing Tools" made it to the list of best Authorship books of all time! bookauthority.org/books/best-aut…

This recognition comes just six days before the launch of "Writing Tools for the College Admissions Essay," the eight book in a sequence that began with the original "Writing Tools." Little, Brown and Co. Thank you.

Bought this Roy Peter Clark book probably for the 11th time. Half the time, I gifted my copy. On other occasions, those who borrowed never returned 😂 At least they know the true value of a really handy book.



Roy Peter Clark This is such a great book. I read it on an endless loop.. sometimes I lose it for a month or two but then there it is, with another tip.

Lenny Rachitsky Add any of Roy Peter Clark works. A personal favorite is Writing Tools.


In this week’s newsletter, I interviewed my longtime mentor and friend, Roy Peter Clark, about his latest book, “Writing Tools for the College Admissions Essay.” Check it out here: open.substack.com/pub/mallary/p/… #writingtips
