Emphasizes the importance of style in writing for a global audience

Style: Lessons in Clarity and Grace asserts that style is a matter of making informed choices in the service of one’s readers. While writers know best what they want to say, readers ultimately decide if they’ve said it well. This flagship text builds on that premise, with updates on subjects such as gender-neutral writing and writing for global audiences. It brings the authors’ innovative approach to the needs of today’s students, while maintaining that writing with style is a civic and ethical virtue.

Also available with Pearson Writer

Pearson Writer is now available with Noteclipper, which allows students to save online sources quickly and easily.

Features of Pearson Writer:

I like it - and writing is not my thing

Reviewed in the United States on October 12, 2017

Verified Purchase

I'm not much of a writer, so naturally I only bought this because it was required for a class. It is in fact quite readable, and has many good ideas in digestible chunks. It is particularly good at pointing out where the simple rules most of us learned in school don't apply, or at least can be broken for good reasons.

My wife, a much better writer, is now reading the book, and seems to find it useful as well.

fantastic reference on style and voice

Reviewed in the United States on January 26, 2020

most grammar books sort of peter out towards the end. The last section of the book is brilliant, especially when it dissects the tone of the declaration of independence.
it is also an excellent basic grammar and punctuation reference.

I've not yet had time to dive into this book but I'm excited to do so very soon! I really like the layout of the chapters and how the authors worked in practice prompts so that you are not only reading about writing, but actually practicing it too.

I bought this book as a required reading for a writing class and I actually ended up taking away very useful information that I now use in my writing. I would recommend this book to anyone looking to improve their writing

This is one of the best guides to learn how to write effectively. I buy it to all my PhD students when they start. One can read the book from front to back page, or pick lessons at random. It covers everything, from grammatical rules to restructuring sentences for maximum impact.
