Write to the Point cover

Write to the Point is the best available guide to effective writing of non-fiction. "Have something to say, and say what you mean to say as simply as you can." Those are Bill Stott's most important points, and for all those readers who know that this simple advice may be difficult to follow, he offers encouragement on such topics as: how to find something to say; the basics of organization, how to avoid sexist language; how much is enough; plagiarism; and basic grammar.

Super-enriched how-to book... designed to get the beginner or the pro... past the struggles of writing to the rewards of sharing something useful. Christian Science Monitor The year's best book for encouraging the beginning, or the intimidated, writer. -- The New York Times Magazine William Safire
