"On Writing Well is a bible for a generation of writers looking for clues to clean, compelling prose." -New York Times
A beloved classic, this definitive volume on the art of writing nonfiction celebrates its thirtieth anniversary.

It is a book for anybody who wants to learn how to write or who needs to do some writing to get through the day, as almost everybody does. Whether you want to write about people or places, science and technology, business, sports, the arts, or about yourself in the increasingly popular memoir genre, On Writing Well offers you both fundamental principles as well as the insights of a distinguished practitioner. With over a million copies in print, this volume has stood the test of time and remains a valued resource for writers and would-be writers.
