This book was the study guide for a class teaching creative writing. It was very up to date on writing techniques. The teacher is a professional writer and she highly recommends Zinsser.

5.0 out of 5 stars Zinnser on Writing Well' April 1 2013
By Allen Piche
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
I read this book two decades ago and was moved to keep the unnecessary words out of my writing, I've read it again and got even more fluff out of my stuff. Could have done without the extra chapters, but for the specialists it should be helpful.
