If you write frequently - whether technical, scientific, creative or professional texts - it is likely that you have already looked for ways to improve clarity, fluidity and impact. And that's exactly what Gary Provost delivers in 100 Ways to Improve Your Writing.
What makes this book special?
Unlike theoretical manuals, this book is objective, practical and straight to the point. With short chapters, it offers applicable tips from the first paragraph. No generic rules: each of the "100 ways" is explained with examples and context.
Some of the topics covered include:
•How to make your writing clearer and more engaging
•The importance of rhythm and variation of sentences
•Tips for reviewing and cutting excesses
•How to keep the reader interested until the end
•The difference between writing to sound intelligent and writing to be understood
One of the most striking excerpts:
"This sentence has five words. Here are five more words. Five-word sentences are fine. But several together become monotonous. Listen to what is happening. The writing is getting boring. The sound of it drones. It's like a stuck record... Now listen. I vary the sentence length, and I create music.”
This example is a true classic for those who seek to improve the textual rhythm - something essential in both literary writing and technique.
