The Secret to Writing delivers what it sets out to accomplish: it is easy to read, short, and effective. It speaks of writing as communication, thus applicable not only to the written word but also to communicating by conversation, as well, and by conversation's now dominant form, email, even PowerPoint. This emphasis on communication embellishes the immutably authoritative laws of writing style we have learned before, with softer words which encourage, challenge, and strengthen, thus providing wisdom and focus to the goal of communicating.
This is a writer's desk companion to the old classics.
