Writing
Style 4
I
had planned to do only three writing-style guides, but as I taught my
editing classes, I discovered how much my students would benefit from
a comprehensive statement with exercises about choosing appropriate
words. I am completing my fiftieth year of teaching writing and editing,
and in that time I have become acutely aware of the importance of an
attention to word selection. The exercises and explanations in the guide
grow out of my reading and evaluating many thousands of student papers
and of our conferences when we discussed why a certain word was chosen.
I provide guidelines and advice to aid editors and writers in making
the most appropriate selection for a given piece of writing.
Please email
me if you have any
questions or comments.
