Serves as a concise outline of various types of publishing you might pursue on the Internet.

It is very oriented towards people working in structured group environments, which might not be what everyone picks it up for, but it will provide a decent checklist of topics to investigate and flesh out for those who do.

More of a how-to book. Some content assessment techniques seemed better as mental checks and time wasters to catalog and write out. Book for the non-writer and beginner.

Thanks Goodreads for giving this as a First Read book!

I was pleasantly surprised with Nicely Said. Having previously read a few other books that dealt with business and internet writing, I was afraid it was going to be as dry as the others. It was not!

The format of this book, which itself would translate beautifully into an online format, is broken up into sections that are clear, concise, and far from overwhelming. Someone new to internet writing could follow this book through step by step as they are writing and it would guide them all the way.

Nicely Said is thorough without being too long, and is so clearly broken into sections that a reader can stop at any point and pick up without a hitch.

I would recommend this to anyone interested in writing on the internet, be it a student or someone in the business world, or even just for personal use. It is definitely something to reread or reference from time to time. Good job, Nicole Fenton and Kate Kiefer Lee, and thanks again for the first read! :)

Amazing book for people who want to learn more about how to plan, write and maintain content for the web, beginners and pros alike. I work with the technical/structural side of Content Strategy and wanted to understand the editorial aspects better. Very clear and concise.
