Reviews of the first edition:
‘For those uncertain of their word power and those who know in their bones that they are struggling along on waffle, a couple of hours with this admirably written manual would be time well spent.’
Keith Waterhouse British Journalism Review
‘English for Journalists is a jolly useful book. It’s short. It’s accessible. It’s cheap. And it tells you what you want to know.’
Humphrey Evans Journalist
‘It makes a simple-to-use guide that you could skim read on a train journey or use as a basic textbook that you can dip into to solve specific problems.’
