Excellent Advice
5By doctoriQLightbulbThis little book was outstanding! Its clear directions were a relief to read in a world awash with political correctness. Some may find the idea of rules restricting. I, however, found it edifying. This book is a good source of advice to the writer, whether a beginner or an expert.Provides useful writing tips
5By ssrocker17I liked the way this book was written. Not only did the author share tips on clear writing, but he also showed it throughout the book. Great for beginning writers, and college students of any discipline.
