Want to know how to write more powerfully? Word Up! How to Write Powerful Sentences and Paragraphs (And Everything You Build from Them) serves up tips and insights for anyone who wants to know how to write with umph. This book does what too few writing books do: it practices while preaching, shows while telling, uses powerful writing to talk about powerful writing.

An eclectic collection of essays, more inspiration guide than style guide, Word Up! explores the perplexities and celebrates the pleasures of the English language. It leaves you smiling—and ready to conquer your next blank (or blah) page.

I find myself forcing others to listen while I read “this great part” out loud every few minutes. My dogs will soon be English experts! I plan to give this book to all my English teachers. —Jennifer DeAngelo, grammar geek
