Write Well Now is a writing guide that presents basic problems of written expression systematically and clearly. It is illustrated by real-life writing samples taken from twenty years of college writing problems and eight years of teaching Academic Writing Skills to graduate students. It will be useful not only to college students, but to upper-level high school students, business professionals, and all other non-fiction writers. Issues covered are word economy, word choice, word placement, clarity, grammar, punctuation, and larger issues of writing that include the organization of documents and approaches to writing. Appendixes offer a generous reservoir of verbs and more than 100 words that tend to be misused. It was followed in 2011 by the same author’s publication of Simple, Brief, and Precise: How to Make Your Writing Easily Understood, which contains essentially the same information but in a different format, with shorter chapters, and with a spiral binding.
