Craig Pittman Roy Peter Clark We used to have a 70-lb pibble named Hammerhead. (the sweetest!)
The only animal I ever saw pick a fight with Hammy was a mockingbird, who dive-bombed us relentlessly until we ran away. They are fierce little birds and I love them so much
Chock full of valuable insights and engaging examples, Writing Tools is an excellent resource for authors worldwide. Thank you Roy Peter Clark for providing the writing world with this gift!
Love this new book by #PeterGolenbock . Looking forward to his talk Monday with Roy Peter Clark at Tombolo Books. The chapter of with poet Donald Hall about his dad and their shared experiences with #RedBarber and the Brooklyn Dodgers required some assistance.
Roy Peter Clark Poynter Loved your comments about #writing today #beat academy. Gold coins, nonfiction as mystery, and so much more. Thank you and #jongreenberg

Another fantastic Tampa Bay Times Festival of Reading! Great to spend the day with old pals and new, incl. authors Michael Connelly Lauren Groff @vanessariley @roypeterclark Dave Barry @lanedegregory @postbaron. Huge thanks to Colette Bancroft, Tombolo Books, and all the readers who attended!
A coworker asked me how to improve their writing and metaphors.
With any skill, you want to study the great artists. So I suggested reading Roy Peter Clark's book, The Art of X-Ray Reading. From this book, I always learn new writing moves.

So excited to kick off LAKE COUNTY at the amazing Tombolo Books where I’ll be in convo with Tampa Bay Times book editor extraordinaire Colette Bancroft. And if all goes well, we’ll also have Roy Peter Clark to set the mood on his keyboard w/ some 1950s favorites. Tuesday 6/4 7pm.
It’s funny how the same Roy Peter Clark tools that valerie kibler taught me as a sophomore in high school are still helping me improve my writing.
