Writing Lessons From Malcolm Gladwell’s Masterclass
Understanding the fundamentals of writing
If you haven’t heard of Malcolm Gladwell or read anything he has written, I’ll borrow a quote from The News & Observer to help you relate with him, his work and the impact he leaves behind with his writing.
If there’s such a thing as a storytelling gene, Gladwell has some super-evolved DNA mutation. He might be the best storyteller on the planet.
Malcolm Gladwell is the author of five nonfiction books and was recognised by Time Magazine in 2005 as one of the hundred most influential people in the world. All his books have been New York Times bestsellers, and he continues to be a writer for the New York Times, where he has worked since 1996.
In his Masterclass, Gladwell covers almost everything there is for writers to know and learn. From the importance of having a catchy title for your story to how he identifies a story and develops it. The beauty of his class is that he gives details behind his thought process on every point that he talks about and illustrates them with perfect examples which adds the same value to you if you are beginning to write or you are someone who has been writing for a quite some time.
