Synopsis:

This is a versatile grammar and usage handbook for beginning and continuing media writers. It gives a straightforward, clear treatment of grammar, which is offered in a lighthearted, almost conversational tone. As a handbook, the text serves as a reference tool for students throughout their writing careers. It provides concise and clear explanations and examples, or a quick and accurate answer to a grammar or usage question. The "from writer to writer" perspective engages students and guides them firsthand through the writing process.

Review: "I really like the clarity and directness of the writing style. In fact, style is one of the book's main strengths. The examples are clear, succinct and extremely helpful."
