[New Release] Teenagers Who Write Well

A Glimpse into the Sparkling Writing Skills of a 20-Year Veteran Journalist Dad

[Asia Economy Reporter Donghyun Choi] Writing is the trend of the era. In the job application process, blind tests have made self-introduction letters and interviews more important than simple academic backgrounds, and in college admissions, self-introduction letters and study plans have become key elements. In the workplace, writing tasks such as various proposals and reports are endless. Especially teenagers have more opportunities to write than anyone else, both at school and at home. Various subject performance evaluations, creative experiential activities, and diverse project classes in the free semester system all usually culminate in writing.

This book is an easy and approachable guide recommended for teenagers who want to write but feel overwhelmed about where and how to start. A journalist father, known for his excellent writing skills, fully reveals the reading and writing know-how he shared with his teenage children. Although there are many writing books for youth, few books comprehensively cover the core from ‘reading to writing’ rather than just simple practical writing tips. The author emphasizes above all that “to write well, you must read well.” The book swiftly demonstrates the process of ‘hip reading,’ ‘hot writing,’ and ‘thinking one step further’ to develop flexible thinking muscles.

Through 14 works including modern literature, classical literature, news, movies, and dramas, it introduces an original method of ‘reading and writing as yourself.’ Each step guides readers into a vivid world of writing where their unique personality shines through with suggestions like ‘how about trying to write this way?’

Additionally, through ‘one step further,’ it offers various ideas and perspectives for reading and writing beyond the core themes of the works, such as ‘class,’ ‘environment,’ ‘proverb,’ ‘rules,’ ‘author,’ ‘supporting characters,’ ‘warm gaze,’ ‘marriage,’ ‘prejudice,’ ‘character background,’ and ‘episodes.’ The book also includes the author’s ‘10 Writing Principles for Teens,’ reflecting his journalistic expertise.
