Ako písať o súčasnom umení je definitívne sprievodca písaním pútavých textov o umení našej doby. Táto kniha, ktorá je neoceniteľná pre študentov, umelcov a ďalších začínajúcich spisovateľov, najskôr prevedie čitateľov kľúčovými prvkami štýlu a obsahu, od cieľov a štruktúry diela až po jeho tón a jazyk. Druhá časť knihy je plná praktických tipov, ktoré pokrývajú celé spektrum písania o umení, a je usporiadaná podľa konkrétnych foriem, vrátane akademických esejí, tlačových správ a novinových článkov, textov pre aukčné a výstavné katalógy, sprievodcov galériami a popiskov k dielam, publicistických článkov a recenzií výstav, ako aj písania pre webové stránky a blogy. Kriticky hodnotí predvídateľné chyby textu ako aj nadinterpretačných pisateľských strátégií. Je v originálnom jazyku angličtine.
