Writing from the Core is more than a handbook: it is a roadmap that leads to correct and effective writing.

• An effective writing style begins with well-written sentences that speak to the reader clearly and concisely.
• Structure and style cross paths at the sentence core—gain control of the sentence core, and you also gain control of your editing and revising skills.
• In fact, once you can edit and revise with skill, you may spend more time mulling over your writing and reaching deeper insight, improving substance as well as style.

Writing from the Core takes the mystery out of how to produce correct, clear, and concise writing, building confidence along with skill.
