Write to the Point: and Feel Better About Your Writing

by Bill Stott

Write to the Point: and Feel Better About Your Writing Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

"Write to the Point" is the best available guide to effective writing of non-fiction. "Have something to say, and say what you mean to say as simply as you can." Those are Bill Stott's most important points, and for all those readers who know that this simple advice may be difficult to follow, he offers encouragement on such topics as: how to find something to say; the basics of organization, how to avoid sexist language; how much is enough; plagiarism; and basic grammar.

Review:

"Super-enriched how-to book... designed to get the beginner or the pro... past the struggles of writing to the rewards of sharing something useful." Christian Science Monitor

Book News Annotation:

A guide to the effective writing of non-fiction, for both novices and veterans.
