Description: 100+ Instant Writing Tips is a non-textbook to help anyone looking to avoid common writing errors and write with more clarity, brevity, and impact. Although the tips are brief, nearly all include examples. A useful 5.5 x 8.25 handbook that does not take itself too seriously, 100+ Tips is divided into five chapters that thematically follow the subtitle of helping you "steer clear of wrong turns and give your readers a smooth ride."The first chapter, "Navigating Tricky Intersections," highlights 28 commonly confused word choices such as "home in" vs. "hone in." "Reducing Travel Time" promotes writing more concisely by focusing on numerous fat phrases such as "revert back" and "period of time." "Heeding Signs and Traffic Lights" solves the top mysteries in punctuating correctly, even daring to set readers straight on the difference between a hyphen and a dash. "Understanding the Laws" exposes the dirty dozen: 12 grammar traps that lurk for every writer. And the final chapter, "Driving with Finesse," covers a gamut of 30 tricks all writers should have up their sleeves. At the end of the book, "GPS Guidance" delves into six issues, such as "who" vs. "whom," that shake the confidence of even the most skillful writers.
