Looking for Directions?

Lost when it comes to the blank page?  Feel your mind wandering when you pick up a pen?  Or is that just what happens to anyone trying to read what you’ve written?  If so, unfold The Writer’s Roadmap and find your way. 

Unlike other writing systems, The Writer’s Roadmap isn’t here to teach you grammar.  It’s all about ORGANIZATION.  The Writer’s Roadmap teaches you to focus on three things:  your reader, your logic, and your bottom line point.  Then step by step, it helps you write anything – from a business proposal to a school report – by offering prompts that keep you on track.

The first prompt? Three questions:

• Who is your audience?
• What do they want to know?
• What is your bottom line point?

Next, the Writer's Roadmap helps you structure the answers to these questions so they lead directly to that all-important bottom line.

Finally, the Writer’s Roadmap helps you organize the myriad details, facts, comments and examples that make that bottom line concrete.  It not only organizes a piece of writing, it shows you how to use your facts for maximum power.

So stop looking desperately for the exit signs.  The Writer’s Roadmap is here to show you the way home.

Advance praise for The Writer's Roadmap

“This is far and away the best basic book on writing I've seen for decades. It goes directly to the heart of fundamental issues that face the beginner: Where do I put my head? How do I organize? How do I figure out what I'm trying to say? Gewirtz is also something most writing book authors are paradoxically not: A good writer. The result is a uniquely understandable and useful melding of ancient artistic truths with the demands of the modern workplace.”
 -- Jon Franklin, author of Writing for Story: Craft Secrets of Dramatic Nonfiction by a Two-Time Pulitzer Prize Winner.

“An excellent course that provides a logical, streamlined approach . . . a straightforward tool for powerful . . . writing.”
-- Mary Karen Merkel, former partner, Arthur Andersen LLP
