Next to public speaking, I hear students tell me most often how how difficult writing is for them. But it is not only students who struggle with writing. Often doctors, college professors, and CEO's have a hard time communicating clearly as well. This little gem of a book is for those who have practical hurdles that fall outside of the scope of grammar and style questions. The authors give good advice to start writing and especially worthwhile suggestions about focusing one's writing efforts. It is a small book and the short chapters make it quite easy to read. I would recommend this to any high school, college level writers. I am presenting some of these ideas in an English as a Foreign Language composition class for Japanese students. The book addresses more of the attitudes of the stalled, hesitant, or fearful writer and presents 29 mistakes with very good insights that other writing books overlook.
