However, it’s not just about choosing words and putting them on a page. It’s a process of communication that includes both writer and reader. You can see it in the diagram.

How to Write Clearly puts the reader first. Throughout the book, you’ll explore how you can educate, persuade and intrigue the reader with your words, so your ideas fit perfectly with their interest.

From Doug Kessler’s foreword…

I’ve been a writer for almost 40 years and this book gave me new insight into what writing is all about.

It also gave me practical ways to improve my writing and to edit my early drafts more effectively.

It’s not just a style guide. It’s a book about how to think – and what to think about – before you write. Then how to turn that clear thinking into clear writing. Then how to make that writing better.

Above all, Tom’s work is based on respect for the reader. He doesn’t just preach that, he demonstrates it by respecting you and what you’re trying to achieve right now.

Frankly, I wish I’d written it.

From the author

Thanks for checking out How to Write Clearly.

I know you have no shortage of writing books to choose from. So here’s what I promise if you choose mine.

· No pompous rants about words or phrases I love or hate. (What really matters is what works.)

· No stuff that may have worked in the 1950s, but sure won’t today. (Readers change, and so does language.)

· No so-called ‘secrets’, quick fixes or magic ‘tricks’. (There’s no way round it – learning to write takes work.)

· And no grammar geekery or peans to punctuation. (Clear and correct are two different things.)

Instead, we’ll explore the big questions that every writer must answer: Who am I writing for? What am I trying to tell them? What’s the best way to explain new ideas? And how can I change the reader’s mind?

Even though I’ve been writing professionally for 25+ years, I still learned so much from writing this book. Now, that knowledge is yours.

Thanks for reading… and enjoy the book.
