How to Write Well

by Robert W. Harris

Write Effectively Now! will help you learn how to make good choices and overcome habits that negatively impact your work. 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. 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: write effectively now!
