Write with Excellence 201, Second Edition is fully compatible with The Chicago Manual of Style, Seventeenth Edition and The Christian Writer's Manual of Style, Fourth Edition!
First-rate writers use first-rate grammar, but grammar isn’t an easy skill to learn. The task is now much easier thanks to Joyce K. Ellis’s Write with Excellence 201.
Ellis, an award-winning author, has spent a lifetime learning to use proper grammar. And she has shared her insights, serving as the grammar columnist for the Christian Communicator magazine, as a writing instructor at conferences, and as a personal mentor for countless writers. Write with Excellence is a lighthearted handbook that gives new life to her columns. It both teaches and inspires, offering the following elements and more:
• three major sections, covering grammar, punctuation, and style
• forty-six chapters on everything from defibrillating verbs to avoiding apostrophe abuse
• quizzes at the end of each chapter to apply knowledge to one’s own writing
• lots of humor, actually making grammar fun.
