Whatever you're writing, you have to make it clear.
You could be writing a website, a brochure or a client presentation. You could be preparing a job application, an email or a classified ad. Or you might be writing an article or a book.
Whatever it is, the clearer you make it, the better your results will be.
How to Write Clearly will help. It's an authoritative yet easy-to-read guide that will make your non-fiction writing more colourful, expressive and precise.
Writing is more than just words on a page. It's a process of communication.
That's why How to Write Clearly draws on cutting-edge ideas from psychology, education and linguistics to look deep inside the reader's mind and explore the 'why' as well as the 'how' of writing technique.
It's ideal for marketers, businesspeople, journalists, educators and anyone who needs to communicate with the written word.
You'll learn:
- How to understand your reader and tune into what they need
- How to use plain language to make your writing accessible, readable and relatable
- Ten treacherous traps you must avoid
- Proven techniques for explaining new ideas
- How to captivate your reader with storytelling, humour, intrigue, perspective and more
- What really changes readers' minds
- How to craft clear sentences and paragraphs
- Using empathy and pacing to put the reader at their ease
- How to choose the right structure, length and title
- Pages of pro tips for drafting, editing and using feedback.
Fully illustrated and referenced, with a wealth of examples throughout, How to Write Clearly is the definitive guide to non-fiction writing today.

Store description
In 2002, World of Books Group was founded on an ethos to do good, protect the planet and support charities by enabling more goods to be reused. Since then, we've grown into to a global company pioneering the circular economy. Today, we drive the circular economy through three re-commerce brands: - Wob: Through Wob, we sell. We provide affordable, preloved books and media to customers all over the world. A book leaves our collection of over seven million titles and begins a new chapter every two seconds, enabling more goods to be reused. - Ziffit: Through Ziffit, we buy. We give people around the world the opportunity to contribute to the circular economy, earn money and protect the planet, by trading their unwanted books and media. - Shopiago: Through Shopiago, we help others. By sharing the technology that has grown World of Books Group into the business it is today, we’re helping charities increase revenue and reduce waste through re-commerce.…
