Language English

Recognising the value of concise writing, this title enables writers to conquer verbiage, strike pointless words and phrases, and elevate e-mails, essays, memoranda, personal letters, press releases, and speeches to a different level of clarity. It illustrates the importance of pruning each sentence before the final draft.

Publisher Description

Recognising the value of concise writing, this quick reference enables writers to conquer verbiage, strike pointless words and phrases, and elevate e-mails, essays, memoranda, personal letters, press releases, and speeches to a new level of clarity. Lists of delete-worthy words are provided, enabling any writer to avoid them in advance and prevent their prose from becoming clumsy, amateurish, and unclear. "Lean" techniques are offered that can be directly applied to non-fiction, journalistic copy, screenwriting, and many other disciplines. Highly instructive yet easy to follow, this is a direct and immediately accessible how-to that illustrates the importance of pruning each sentence before the final draft.

Author Biography

Dave Dowling is the author of "The Wrong Word Dictionary "and has taught technical writing seminars at corporations and universities for 25 years, including IBM, LexisNexis, Lockheed Martin, and Pepsico. He is a member of the Society for Technical Communications and the Society for the Preservation of English Language and Literature. He lives in Owego, New York.
