The Style Book: Crafting Graceful Prose shows how to write clear, to-the-point, elegant sentences and paragraphs. You’ll learn how to:
- Write for an audience
- Focus on the main point―the Big Picture
- Emphasize key ideas
- Fix bad sentence logic
- Solve tricky grammar puzzles
- Cut wordiness
- Cut jargon, doublespeak, and clichés
- Cut prepositional phrases
- Cut the passive and use the active
- Choose the right word (affect or effect? who or whom? it’s or its?)
- Phrase sentences for elegance and clarity
- Use a variety of transitions
- Punctuate using common-sense rules
The Style Book offers 101 editing problems and 101 editing solutions, along with comprehensive word lists: bad jargon (utilize vs. use), words to avoid (acrosst, off of), word confusions (it’s vs. its), recent clichés from the media (at the end of the day), formula phrases (at this point in time vs. now), word twins and triplets (bold and brash; questions, comments, and concerns), action verbs (bang to leap to zoom), and a chart of all-purpose transitions (however to for that reason).
For practice, The Style Book also offers 276 exercises with 276 suggested answers.
