Summary:

Whether you write an occasional professional letter or a daily newspaper column, William Zinsser's On Writing Well should be required reading. Simplicity is Zinsser's mantra: he preaches a stripped-down writing style, strong and clear. He has no patience for excess (most use of adjectives and adverbs, he writes, just adds clutter) or tired phraseology (for instance, he'd like to outlaw all leads involving those "future archaeologists" most often found "stumbl[ing] upon the remains of our civilization"). He recommends that all writers of nonfiction read their work aloud (don't commit something to paper that you wouldn't actually say) and write under the assumption that "the reader knows nothing" (not to be confused with assuming the reader's an idiot). In addition to the chapters on the expected--usage, audience, interviews, leads--Zinsser also focuses on such trouble spots as science and technical writing, business writing, sports, and humor.

Customer Reviews:

Average Customer Rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars 

Just what I expected

Customer Rating:  5 out of 5 stars 

This book had just what I expected. As a non-fiction writer it helped me focus on keeping the "main thing" the main thing and keeping it simple.

Great Book!

Customer Rating:  5 out of 5 stars 

Purchased this book for my Graduate Research and Writing class at the University of Denver. It has helped me tremendously in improving my writing and revising abilities. I recommend this book to any student or writer in high school, college, or grad school.

Reads like a fast paced novel!

Customer Rating:  5 out of 5 stars 

I bought this book for reference, but once I started to read it and hear Mr. Zinseer speaking to me through those pages, I was swept up, and taken on an incredible journey. On Writing Well cuts through all the nonsense and speaks honestly, and directly, to you the reader.

If you want to learn to enthrall your audience with language - buy this book. I couldn't put it down till the last page, and I bet you won't either!

The Gold Standard

Customer Rating:  5 out of 5 stars 

If I could only have one book on writing, I'd choose "On Writing Well."

Zinsser offers practical, useful instruction on writing simply, clearly and with authenticity. If you want to improve your skill, this book will show you how.

While "On Writing Well" is directed toward non-fiction, writers of fiction will also find it helpful.

An excellent guide to writing.

Customer Rating:  5 out of 5 stars 

The book is very informative . I recently moved into a position at my job where writing correspondence is required so i am garnering different styles of writing to enhance my writing skills.
This book is highly recommended
