For anyone who desires to become an author, two classic books share the necessary elements of creative writing and the habits and processes to make your writing successful. Professor William Strunk published Elements of Style at the end of the First World War. This book inspires us to write well while immersing readers in the atmosphere of a gentlemen’s writing circle where we can almost smell the chalk and tweed. The professor encourages the writer to write well, if for no other reason than to escape his stern reprimand. If You Want to Write is Brenda Ueland’s classic exploration of the essence and art of literary creativity. She believed that only by expressing one’s creative spirit can we become "generous, joyful, lively, bold and sympathetic". William Strunk: The Elements of Style Brenda Ueland: If You Want to Write
The Sense of Style
“Charming and erudite," from the author of Rationality and Enlightenment Now, "The wit and insight and clarity he brings . . . is what makes this book such a gem.” —Time.com Why is so much writing so bad, and how can we make it better? Is the English language being corrupted by texting and social media? Do the kids today even care about good writing—and why should we care? From the author of The Better Angels of Our Nature and Enlightenment Now. In this entertaining and eminently practical book, the cognitive scientist, dictionary consultant, and New York Times–bestselling author Steven Pinker rethinks the usage guide for the twenty-first century. Using examples of great and gruesome modern prose while avoiding the scolding tone and Spartan tastes of the classic manuals, he shows how the art of writing can be a form of pleasurable mastery and a fascinating intellectual topic in its own right. The Sense of Style is for writers of all kinds, and for readers who are interested in letters and literature and are curious about the ways in which the sciences of mind can illuminate how language works at its best.
