Reviews"Any course that deals with policy and expects students to write policy papers could use this book. The focus on succinct writing and ethics gives the book advantages. I don't see any disadvantages."--Anna Marie Schuh, Roosevelt University, "Any course that deals with policy and expects students to write policy papers could use this book. The focus on succinct writing and ethics gives the book advantages."--Anna Marie Schuh, Roosevelt University "I added Smith's book two years ago and it has been a great hit. I have seen improvements in [students'] ability to communicate in written form in more appropriate ways (context specific) and in appropriate forms given the context of policy professionals providing their assessments, etc. This is a well-done task-forward, example-driven text on techniques for better written communication (and required knowledge for competence in this area) for Public Policy courses and other related courses." -Dennis Patterson, Texas Tech University "I highly recommend this text to colleagues. Its ability to explain meaning-making and why this is important in public policy messaging is a vital component of training students to be future public service leaders."--Matt Bagwell, Tarleton State University, "Any course that deals with policy and expects students to write policy papers could use this book.
