5.0 out of 5 stars Writing Right, Writing Light, 5 Oct 2003
By Budge Burgess (Kilmarnock, Scotland) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)   
One of the major tasks new writers face is that of learning to edit their work, to cut out the superfluous and the confusing, tightening the nuts and honing the work. Excellent little book, beautifully illustrated and organised, this will help you learn the craft of editing, which will improve your writing beyond recognition.
