Dear Mister Essay Writer Guy by Dinty w. Moore
- Cover: As usual, the cover of a book is the first thing that sparks my interest. And this one has a fascinating style — simplistic yet exciting. Of course, the title also grabbed my attention. Not that you have had to be interested in writing to enjoy this book, I think sharing the same experiences expressed in the writing help you appreciate it more. So, yes, this is probably more geared towards writers or people that at least enjoy writing a bit more than your average joe.
- Voice: The author is hilarious in his stories and advice. The type of style I would like to write in.
- Style: Since this is an advice column for writers, this book does one of my favorite things. It introduces each question on an envelope and even has the questions typed up as if by typewriter. There are also illustrations that might pertain to said question. One in mind is the question about cocktail napkins. Moore answered it by writing on cocktail napkins. I enjoy that style. Makes it seem more hands-on when a book does things like this. When they print maps and letters, it’s my bread and butter in the book world.
