The Naked Writer offers both a comprehensive style guide and a guide to the higher levels of composition. Whether you’re writing fiction or nonfiction, this book will help you strengthen your writing and allow you to finally rest in the assurance that your grammar and punctuation are correct. An easy to read and often amusing book of advice with examples on all points as well as exercises, The Naked Writer will assist not just new writers but sophisticated ones to become better writers. This compendium is simply a must have. “The author succeeds admirably in setting forth sound writing guidelines without coming across as tedious, didactic, or boring. Her sense of humor takes the edge off a number of passages which could easily have been intimidating. I’ve been writing a long while, but I learned a lot from The Naked Writer. I’ll certainly continue to use it as a reference, and I’d recommend it to both novices and veterans.” ~Larry Karp, author of eight mystery novels and three nonfiction books.
