Write like a president.

Oseid Communicators in ChiefThis book is next up on my reading list: Communicators-in-Chief by Julie Oseid, a law professor at the University of St. Thomas School of Law. In this book, Prof. Oseid examines the writing style and habits of five American presidents, focusing on one quality at which each excelled: Thomas Jefferson (metaphor), James Madison (rigor), Abraham Lincoln (brevity), Ulysses S. Grant (clarity), and Teddy Roosevelt (zeal). For each president, Prof. Oseid offers some biographical background, insights into his writing habits, and some examples of his best writing. There’s also a chapter on the presidents’ reading habits and favorite books.
