Book excerpt: By treating writing as an independent mode of communication, based on the use of spatial relations to connect events separated in time, the author shows how other forms of writing obey the same principles.In Signs of Writing Roy Harris re-examines basic questions about writing that have long been obscured by the traditional assumption that writing is merely a visual substitute for speech.By treating writing as an independent mode of communication, based on the use of spatial relations to connect events separated in time, the author shows how musical, mathematical and other forms of writing obey the same principles as verbal writing. These principles, he argues, apply to texts of all kinds: a sonnet, a symphonic score, a signature on a cheque and a supermarket label. Moreover, they apply throughout the history of writing, from hieroglyphics to hypertext.This is the first book to provide a new general theory of writing in over forty years. Signs of Writing will be essential reading for anyone interested in language and communication.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It's something about words that have the power to attract. With so many new books on the market, how can you keep readers returning? There are so many books on how to write a book. It's easy to get confused as to which one is best for you. In this book, I give readers a proven formula to help individuals write an engaging book. They have a saying, you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make them drink. It can apply to writing. Many authors who start writing don't finish. After building the soon-to-be author up with the knowledge, they need to write their books. We help them find their anchor to hold on to when a difficulty arises, tempting them to throw in the towel. We deal with self-limiting beliefs holding them back from following through, and we talk about the writer positioning themselves for the inspiration that comes to the ready writer. How To Keep Them Reading is an excellent guide to the individual looking to write a nonfiction book that will captivate and engage their audience.
