I recently finished reading The Elements of Content Strategy by Erin Kissane, the third book in the
A Book Apart series. As with the previous two, this book does a great job at covering the subject in a broad but thorough manner.
The book is broken down into three major pieces:
- Basic Principles (read this chapter online for free!)
- The Craft of Content Strategy
- Tools and Techniques
Kissane’s writing style makes reading the book both fun, informative and a breeze to finish. It’s a great read (and nice addition to your bookshelf) for anyone interested in exploring the discipline as a potential career path, anyone involved in web publishing, and even makes for a great reference for people such as myself (e.g. web designers/developers) who aren’t as regularly involved in the actual planning of content creation for clients.
So far, the A Book Apart series has been a smash and I’m already itching to get into the fourth book, Responsive Web Design by Ethan Marcotte. Review forthcoming!
In the meantime, go check out The Elements of Content Strategy!
