Great for writers of all ages and skill levels!

I wanted to let you know that this book is great! I am a high school journalism and newspaper teacher. This book is a wonderful supplemental learning tool for my classes. I have divided my newspaper class into pairs of students and each Monday I assign a pair a chapter out of Words That Stick to present to the rest of the class on Friday. I am going to do that for the rest of this semester. The book is very direct and concise. It doesn't have any jargon to get bogged-down in so it is great for my high school kids who are just getting their feet wet in the world of journalism. Words That Stick is also an excellent resource to accomplished writers. It helps keep you focused and reminds you to keep your writing short and to-the-point.
