Product Description

Write with Style differs from all other books on style, because it promotes sound writing principles and incorporates contemporary technology. It makes style objective, so writers spot opportunities for improvement in their work. For the first time, a book shows writers, from beginner to pro, how to use almost any word-processing program to improve their writing. It shows writers how to drive home a point and avoid pedestrian prose.

5.0 out of 5 stars A terrific writing tool, June 15, 2004
By Ellis "Ellis" (Taylors, SC USA) - See all my reviews
This book is filled with valuable information that any writer can (and should) use. The breezy, upbeat style is fun and easy to read, and the examples and exercises will make you think. Ms. Christmas covers everything from weeding out adverbs with appropriate verbs to fine-tuning your manuscript. I highly recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars If you are a writer, this book will help!, September 26, 2004
Unless you are still writing on a typewriter or with paper and pencil, this book will improve your work. First it tells you the kind of mistakes you should be looking for, then tells you how to find and correct them using your word processor.

You won't find lessons on characterization or plot. You will find ways to make your writing tighter and more presentable to both the reader and the agent or publisher you are trying to impress with your work.

The book is more than worth the $13 being asked for it.

5.0 out of 5 stars If you intend to write and succeed, this is a must read, May 29, 2008

At several points reading Christmas's 'Write in Style', I was tempted to write a glowing review. Now, I selfishly don't want to. Everyone has at least one book inside them. I don't want you all to know how Bobbie's Christmas's guidance will guide you to tell your story. I want 'Write in Style' all to myself.

I could give a thorough review, of content and chapters, proving myself an excellent writer. But why? With Bobbie's guidance I stand a better chance of writing best sellers. Why write a review when you can write a book. Read 'Write in Style', study it for yourself. It's written by a master.

Not only does 'Write in Style' teach to write clearly, and give you a secret tool to reduce the work, Bobbie's guidance helps to get the story out from your imagination onto paper in the way readers want to read. 'Write in Style' encourages confidence and thereby enthuses you to write with the belief you have a guardian angel on your shoulder.

Thanks Bobbie.

Sorry Bobbie. I want to keep you all to myself.

just Jack
