What do Katy Perry, Charles Dickens, and the Bible all have in
common? They’re responsible for some of the most famous lines in
history. And in this episode, you’ll find out why. Mark, an
author and mad scientist of language, reveals the secret sauce to
memorable writing: rhetorical devices. Chiasmus. Anaphora.
Antithesis. Synecdoche. Writing today (i.e. texting and
Tweeting) is concise and hyper-minimal — which is fine, if you’re
writing the instruction manual for a new dishwasher. But the most
memorable works of writing lean into the beauty of words. It’s not
about using overly purple prose. It’s about using rhetorical
formulas to create unforgettable lines, to shape ideas that stick
in your reader’s brain. If you want to write something that
sticks in your reader’s brain — a book, a poem, a speech — then
this episode is for you. SPEAKER LINKS: Twitter:
