Every Word Matters is an essential guide for writers who want to make a difference.

Renowned for her insightful columns in the Guardian, Dr Ranjana Srivastava brings her signature clarity and intelligence to the art of writing opinion columns, advocacy pieces and essays.

With wisdom and warmth, she skilfully guides readers through the challenges and rewards of writing. From simplifying complex ideas to developing a distinctive voice and engaging the audience, Srivastava offers practical advice drawn from her own experiences of both setbacks and successes.

Whether your goal is to educate, inspire, or advocate, this book will help you transform your ideas into compelling writing.

What makes Every Word Matters especially powerful is Srivastava’s dual perspective as both an oncologist and a writer, giving her a unique understanding of the power of language to inform, persuade and heal.

A must read for aspiring writers, professionals, and anyone curious about the writing process, Every Word Matters is a powerful reminder of why writing well truly matters.

 ‘In Every Word Matters, Ranjana Srivastava takes up the most important question for any writer who wants to make change in the world. Who are you writing for? With the rich and compelling stories that have made her Guardian column a joy to read for years, this little book is a masterclass, filled with the essential writing tips, tools, and strategies for finding and using your voice as a writer.’

About Amplify Bookstore

An anti-racist social enterprise bookstore specialising in BIPOC books.

Only about 11% of books published are by BIPOC authors — so unless you specifically seek out books by BIPOC authors, you aren't likely to find very many of them organically. At Amplify, BIPOC authors are highlighted and celebrated. Here, they don't have to fight to be seen, and you don't have to fight to find them.

We hope that in our shop, you can discover a new favourite read, find stories that speak uniquely to you, learn about a culture outside your own (or more about your own histories), and gain a better understanding of the systems that connect us all.
