Synopsis

This book is for all who aspire to write better—from students seeking better grades to professionals in all fields who wish to become more effective in their careers. If you have trouble writing, you're probably making a limited number of mistakes when you try to write. But most of these mistakes are easily corrected with the help of WRITING EFFECTIVELY: A PRACTICAL GUIDE. Over the years Mary Lynn Kelsch and Thomas Kelsch have collected and categorized some of the difficulties people have when trying to write. The authors have taken these common but easily correctable problems and brought them together in this book along with professional advice on how to eliminate such problems from your writing. Inside you'll find expert suggestions on how to avoid rambling in your writing and come directly to the point; you'll discover how to develop a style of writing that is simple, clear, and concise; you'll see how general statements can be replaced with specific cases to add clarity and force to your writing; and much more. Best of all you'll discover how to plan what you have to say and organize your thoughts before you put pen or pencil to paper, making it easier than ever before to produce a piece of good writing.
