Writing with Style: the Economist Guide

A brand-new edition of this classic guide on how to write with style—from The Economist's language columnist, Lane Greene.

This new edition of Writing with Style offers  fresh, up-to-date insight into the principles and tools we can all  deploy when it comes to expressing ourselves better when we write. The  book's leaner, cleaner structure ranges widely—from grammar and  punctuation to using numbers and how to edit. Economist language columnist Lane  Greene also tackles some of the key linguistic issues we face today,  like balancing plain speech with sensitivity, and knowing when to use  jargon.

The result is a clear guide to making the most of the  written word: conversational but authoritative; accessible yet  comprehensive—with its ideas always presented with clarity and style.
