Some advice is dated and not relevant any longer – a couple of hints on how to acquire information and in which format to submit your work, mostly. Apart from that, the book talks about how to prepare for writing, how to structure texts, and goes down to details of grammar and punctuation. All of these things are well-structured, to the point, and come with plenty of examples and as much entertaining writing as you can fit in a paragraph or two per topic. I enjoyed the short form and the sensible advice – some of which is very common, but especially the sections on editing contained new advice for me. I'm a firm believer that the best way to improve one's writing is to read a lot and write a lot (thank you On Writing, where I first heard this). This simple act of immersion, AKA doing the work, is often undervalued and frequently ignored in favor of tricks and shortcuts. There is no secret knowledge that writers employ. Nevertheless, Gary Provost's 100 Ways to Improve Your Writing is a nice refresher for focusing one's efforts and staying on task. The sections that spoke to me personally were "Listen to What You Write," "Write About People," and "Prefer Good Writing to Good Grammar." nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
