Most books on writing I've read either lean too heavily into dry academic text or into dramatic life story. This does neither and instead is written based on the tools it describes and most importantly, provides constant examples from other writers showing how these tools work. ⠀

I've never been hooked on a non-fiction skills-based book like this one. This book singlehandedly ended my lifelong hatred of commas and got me on board with subheads (which I often leave out). It also provides easy and fun activities at the end of each chapter to help you better understand the material. This book is superb and I'm both excited and scared to apply its teachings to my own writing
