ON WRITING WELL : THE CLASSIC GUIDE TO WRITING NONFICTION Paperback – May 25, 2020

No book has improved my writing as much as this one! It addresses many issues you didn’t realise you had and guides you towards a creative path. Rather than dwelling on punctuation or grammar, this book enlightens the actual craft of writing; how to go about it. Other than an occasional silly attempt at political correctness of his day (so called sexism and so on), this book is filled with great insights.

If you're serious about writing well, walk the talk and get this book.

William Zinsser's "On Writing Well," which first hit the market some 40 years ago, is a classic in the field. A worthwhile book for any writer or aspiring writer, its advice is most helpful to those who are starting their careers or avocations in writing. Among its topics are simplicity, clutter, style, audience, the lead, the ending, the interview, professional and business writing, humor, and sports. With such a broad range of topics, it's not surprising that none of them are covered in depth. But this is not the purpose of "On Writing Well." Rather, the purpose is to provide an overview of nonfiction writing as a whole. It does a great job of this, as witnessed by its staying power over the years.
