Description

Advice on good writing from everybody’s favorite editorial curmudgeon

Persnickety, cantankerous, opinionated, entertaining, hilarious, wise…these are a few of the adjectives reviewers used to describe good-writing maven Bill Walsh’s previous book, Lapsing Into a Comma. Now, picking up where he left off in Lapsing, Walsh addresses the dozen or so biggest issues that every writer or editor must master. He also offers a trunkload of good advice on the many little things that add up to good writing. Featuring all the elements that made Lapsing such a fun read, including Walsh’s trademark acerbic wit and fascinating digressions on language and its discontents, The Elephants of Style provides:

  • Tips on how to tame the “elephants of style”–the most important, frequently confused elements of good writing
  • More of Walsh’s popular “Curmudgeon’s Stylebook”–includes entries such as Snarky Specificity, Metaphors, Near and Far, Actually is the New Like, and other uses and misuses of language
  • Expert advice for writers and editors on how to work together for best results
