Dear |First Name|,

There’s one skill that will always serve you well, no matter your age, profession, or circumstance.

Writing.

Writing well can build or cultivate your relationships . . .

. . . advance your career . . .

. . . communicate your ideas clearly and persuasively . . .

. . . preserve your memories.

Now, you can develop this skill with any number of writing books. But one book in particular teaches you how to write excellent essays through the timeless art of rhetoric.

Not the kind of rhetoric associated with political posturing and empty promises.

I mean classical rhetoric, the kind perfected by the ancient Romans.

That’s why I’m featuring The Office of Assertion by Professor of English Scott Crider as your ISI Book of the Month.

Understanding and practicing classical rhetoric will make you a compelling writer.

You’ll go beyond the “five-paragraph formula” of the high school essay into advanced uses of rhetoric that will vastly improve your style and prose.

And best of all, by grasping the structure of classical rhetoric, you’ll write stronger essays, articles, and even emails in less time.

You’ll never find yourself staring at a blank screen again.

The Office of Assertion will show you:

  • How to “discover” and organize a powerful argument

  • How to craft gripping introductions, invisible transitions, persuasive paragraphs, and more

  • The powerful words and styles inherent to any good essay

  • How to revise and refine your writing by asking 15 vital questions

  • . . . and much more.

One reader used The Office of Assertion to improve his essays: “Made me a better writer, and got me extra credit.” —Michael Karoly

Jeffrey Hart, longtime professor of English at Dartmouth College, called it the “best guide to the writing of essays that I have ever seen.”

Textbooks like the McGraw-Hill writing guides will cost you $45. The Office of Assertion is normally $15—but for this month only, it’s yours for just $9.00.

Now’s a good time to get your own copy, and maybe one for that budding writer you know. But hurry. This offer is good only until May 31.

Happy reading—and happy writing!
