Writing with Style: The Economist Guide
A brand-new edition of this classic guide on how to write with style—from The Economist's language columnist, Lane Greene.
"A lovely book. I vigorously recommend it as an alternative to Strunk and White’s The Elements of Style." —John McWhorter, The New York Times
This new edition of Writing with Style offers fresh, up-to-date insight into the principles and tools we can all deploy when it comes to expressing ourselves better when we write. The book's leaner, cleaner structure ranges widely—from grammar and punctuation to using numbers and how to edit. Economist language columnist Lane Greene also tackles some of the key linguistic issues we face today, like balancing plain speech with sensitivity, and knowing when to use jargon.
The result is a clear guide to making the most of the written word: conversational but authoritative; accessible yet comprehensive—with its ideas always presented with clarity and style.
