How to Write: Not Your Usual User's Guide to the English Language

By A.P. English and A.P. English

Face it: most guides to good writing are written by people who can't write. Even The Elements of Style , by Strunk & White (the best-selling book of its kind until now) begins on page 1 with a rule about when to use the semicolon. Does that sound like a smart opening hook? Writing is not for everyone. When God wished to communicate with all mankind, he wrote a Good Book. But who reads it? What a shame, that He did not first learn to write better . You need not make the same mistake. Here at long last is a priceless guide to As in the classroom and five-star book reviews on the Internet: How to Write digests the wisdom and expertise of more than one hundred great masters (and records the lapses of a few great buffoons). If you wish to succeed in college or in the literary marketplace, then this is a resource that you cannot do without. The best book you'll ever read may be one that you wrote yourself--but not until you know How to Write .
