From a bestselling author on grammar, Patricia O'Connor's guide to grammar fundamentals is sympathetic to the struggling writer and often just plain funny. (The Seattle Times)
Whether you are working on the novel that's been in the back of your mind for years or simply facing an increasing demand to write well at work or school, the fact remains: we all write more often these days, be it reports, e-mails, blog posts, or texts. But despite the increase in written communication, the fundamentals of good writing have been lost. Grammar maven Patricia T. O'Conner comes to the rescue with this painless, practical, and funny writing companion.
In short, snappy chapters filled with crystal-clear examples, amusing comparisons, and humorous allegories that cover everything from Pronoun Pileups and Verbs That Zing to What to Do When You're Stuck, O'Conner provides simple, straightforward tips to help you sort through your thoughts and make your sentences strong.
