The power of clear writing
.You could be writing a website, a brochure or a client presentation.
You could be preparing a job application, an email or a classified ad.
Or you might be writing an article or a book.
Whatever it is, the clearer you make it, the better your results will be.
Writing is more than just words on a page. It’s a process of communication between people.
That’s why How to Write Clearly draws on cutting-edge ideas from psychology, education and linguistics to look deep inside the reader’s mind and explore the ‘why’ as well as the ‘how’.
To make yourself clear in writing, you need to get every element right, from words and sentences through to structure and title.
However, you also need to explain new ideas, build empathy with your reader and overcome their objections to your message.
