'The Compendium Of Good Writing' deserves a place in the personal libraries of all amateur and professional writers.
Communication is a rapidly changing art form. Today we don't pick up the telephone or meet face to face so often. Meetings are frequently held online, with new contacts made via the Internet and everyday business conducted through the exchange of email. Nowadays, the impression we give of ourselves or our company and the perceptions we have of others are often gleaned from the written word.
In this practical style guide, author Nick Renton deliberately sets out to offer prescriptive rather than simply descriptive advice. He presents simple, lucid explanations of grammatical concepts and stylistic usages, demystifies the role of punctuation and introduces essential self-editing techniques. This book will appeal equally to word lovers, business communicators and students of English whether as a first or second language.
