A guide to writing well, COMPOSE YOURSELF advises you how to think clearly and express yourself effectively. In his lively and accessible style, Blamires advises on how to write coherently and elegantly by thinking through what you want to say first, and uses contemporary examples of good and bad English to make his point. Divided into four sections - using the right words, conveying meaning effectively, making points persuasively, and habits to be avoided - this is the guide for anyone who has ever had trouble putting their thoughts on paper and those who simply want to sharpen their language skills.

About the Author:

Harry Blamires is the author of THE PENGUIN GUIDE TO PLAIN ENGLISH and numerous other books, including works on theology, literary history and criticism.
