Summary

This book is designed to help people who think in pictures--a segment of learners that by some estimates includes almost 30 percent of the population--gain skills and confidence in their writing abilities. Writing for Visual Thinkers approaches the craft of writing from many directions, all with the ultimate goal of unblocking the reader's verbal potential. Both experimental and pragmatic, Marks's methods will result in stronger, more verbally confident artists and designers.
