A half-century later, skilled and novice writers alike continue to rely on this timeless reference.aThe philosophy is simple. Writing clearly and correctly doesn't have to be difficult. With this handbook of practical methods and wisdom, everyone can learn to express themselves on paper.aThe many examples and exercises guide you through the writing process: getting started; organizing your ideas; connecting your ideas; choosing the right tone; making your meaning clear; giving your writing flair and punch; using correct grammar.aThe 50th Anniversary Edition contains all of the tried-and-true techniques that have made this book a best-seller. Now with new features for today's writers, non-biased writing, contemporary examples, and more, The Classic Guide to Better Writing continues to be the foundation of excellence in style and usage., Every phase of writing is addressed in this authoritative, practical guide. Specific topics include: organizing information, discovering a personal voice, enhancing readability and checking grammar and spelling.
