Format:Paperback
Contains a lifetime's worth of information---and inspiration. I've read it twice, and dip into it periodically because it contains so much truth. I was a journalist for ten years, and have read a fair number of how-to-write books, but nothing I've seen is in the same league with Blundell's work. He provides a comprehensive system for organizing material and for sharpening and vivifying a story to a professional level. While it may be true that beyond a certain point good writing cannot be taught, there are definitely techniques to master and mistakes to avoid. Apply Blundell's principles and your writing will almost have to improve.

Format:Paperback
I had been a successful freelance journalist for a decade when I found this book. It helped me understand what I was doing right and create methods for the places I was falling down. I found it wise and time saving. I now lecture in journalism and still urge my student to use many of its suggestions.

There are books on grammar, books on news reporting, and dictionaries. Now for something completely different: This is the only book I've read that really tells you how to write great copy for a newspaper. It's the best.

Absolutely the best how-to for nonfiction writers
Most how-to writing books assume you've collected everything you need to know about the subject and just need to work the passive voice out of your prose--or that you're suffering... Read more
