Hi All...


"Advanced maths has no practical use, and is understood by few. A symphony can
be enjoyed, but created only by a genius. Good writing, however, can be
written (and read) by anyone if we give it the gift of our time.

"Enter universally praised historian Professor Joe Moran. From the Bible and
Shakespeare to Orwell and Diana Athill, First You Write a Sentence.show us how
the most ordinary words can be turned into verbal constellations, sharing:

- The tools of the trade; from typewriters to texting and the impact this has
on the craft
- Writing and the senses; how to make the world visible and touchable
- How to find the ideal word, build a sentence, and construct a paragraph


"Good writing can ignite the hearts and minds of readers, help us notice the
world better and live more meaningful lives. And it's a power we all can wield.
