Elements of Literature

Confined to a backend able only to serve up lists of links, I overcame technical limitations by concentrating on the rich possibilities of the content itself. I crafted instructional text that was lively, concise, goals-driven, and academic in tone while remembering to laugh and to challenge the ideas. I wrote content models and trained an editorial staff to match the target style and tone. The following samples are drawn from nearly five hundred pages published at go.hrw.com.
