[Al Czarnecki]

From the cover — "A handbook of practical advice on how to write with vigor, clarity, and grace." Couldn't say it better.

This is a book to read and to love if you want to be a good journalist and a writer since it goes into the detail the nitty gritty of good writing

I learnt more about good journalism, and how to write well, from this book than I did from an NCTJ Diploma in Journalism. It's an old book, but the advice is solid and still relevant today.
