About the book

What readers can expect

Leaders, business owners or people who want to get things done effectively need strong writing communications skills. This book offers useful insights into how to make your writing more persuasive and memorable. These are the tips, advice points, and examples of an expert communicator. Whether it’s persuading through newspaper “op-eds,” speeches, or even during crisis communications, “A Wordsmith’s Work” will improve the success of your message and enhance the reputation of your chosen messenger.

Author Mark Weaver has counseled thousands of clients all across America. He worked one-on-one with the Great Communicator himself, President Ronald Reagan. NBC News in Charlotte, North Carolina called Weaver “one of the nation’s foremost experts in crisis communications.” His weapon of choice: powerful words. Words that persuade, inspire, and amuse. That’s why Mark Weaver is sought out by corporate leaders, university presidents, and public officials all across America for high-level counsel on how to communicate better.

Most communications books tell you what good writing looks like. Mark Weaver’s A Wordsmith’s Work shows you. That difference is why this book has earned a spot on my desk.

The book is built on real work: op-eds, speeches, and statements that Weaver wrote and used throughout his career. As a PIO, I spend much of my time writing for someone else. I write remarks for elected officials, statements for department heads, and messages that need to land with residents on their worst day. Seeing how a seasoned spokesman frames an argument, uses facts and humor, and protects the credibility of the person delivering the message is more useful than any checklist.
