It doesnt just express us; it represents us. We write to connect with other people - to make them laugh, or cry, or think. We also write to work out what we think ourselves: theres nothing like it for concentrating the mind. So whats the secret of a stylish essay, or story, or email? How do you make your sentences sparkle? Dorothy Parker had a point when she said that writing is the art of applying the ass to the seat, but in this slim volume, a leading editor who is also a pop critic and sportswriter shows you much fun you can have while sharpening your pen. Tim de Lisles book is packed with good, simple advice: be clear, be concise, be vivid, be organised. In a few breezy chapters, he explains the secrets of good writing, and along the way he quotes dozens of great lines, from the plays of Shakespeare to the journalism of Caitlin Moran. Writing, he says, is like dancing, in that you can tell instantly if someone is good at it. But its also like driving in that it can be learnt. Spend a couple of hours with this book and youll learn things that will help you in years to come.
