In How to Write Well, veteran writer Robert Harris, drawing on more than 25 years’ experience, shows how people can overcome bad habits and make good choices when writing.
Unlike other books on writing, this one doesn't address isolated problems in the neatly segregated categories of punctuation, syntax, diction, and style. Instead, it focuses on common mistakes and misjudgments that make writing uninteresting, unclear, and unconvincing. This approach will help you learn to take a broader view and aim for the general goals of clarity, conciseness, correctness, and persuasiveness in your writing.
Do you want to make your writing stand out from the crowd? This book's easy-to-implement guidelines can transform your writing. And you won't have to wade through a lot of rules, regulations, and jargon. Instead, you will find straightforward tips that you can put to use immediately to improve your writing. So don't put it off any longer: start writing well today.
