Write Tight: How to Keep Your Prose Sharp, Focused and Concise

Writing well is, or at least should be, the goal of every writer and aspiring author. William Brohaugh, in this classic writing reference, shows how to do just that—achieve a high standard of writing. In Write Tight, Brohaugh teaches how to not only say exactly what you want with grace and power, using the right word, but also how to use the right number of words. Concerns examined range from unnecessary book chapters to unnecessary syllables. Taking the reader into the realm of tight writing, Brohaugh shows that good writing is often the balance of the tight and the loose.
