On Writing Well, 30th Anniversary Edition: The Classic Guide to Writing Nonfiction
ISBN:9780060891541 read summary

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.

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.

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!

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.

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
