We've just marked the first anniversary of publication of the book version of "Writing Tools." (If you order it through this link to Amazon.com, Poynter gets a piece of the action.) More than 23,000 hard cover copies have been sold. The paperback version is due out in January.

So you've got the book, the blog, the podcasts, the musical. What next? The Webinar, of course. If you have not yet experienced a Webinar, it's a cool and inexpensive form of learning. Created by News University, or NewsU, it is a live event, scheduled for Tuesday, Sept. 18, at 2 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time. The cost to register is $29.95, plus the cost of the long distance phone call. You get to hear my voice via the telephone, follow the lessons and examples on your computer screen and submit questions and comments.

For my first Webinar, I've chosen my favorite writing tool: The Order of Words. This strategy of emphasis, priority and news judgment can improve your prose in a single day. I have used it in my own writing, my coaching and my teaching, and I've received great feedback from both inexperienced writers and prize-winning veterans of the craft.

Here's the link to everything you need to know about the Webinar and how to register.

One more piece of news: I've just closed a deal with Little, Brown to write a companion book to "Writing Tools." The tentative title is "The Glamour of Grammar." You'll hear more about this new project soon, and I'll need your help.
