Written in a humorous and accessible tone, How Not to Write is a light-hearted guidebook that dispels common writing myths and promotes grammatical common sense instead. Focusing on concise, conversational and clear writing, this book illustrates how to write with many useful examples.

Learn about office-clichés, the difference between ‘that’ and ‘which’, and find out if you can really start a sentence with ‘but’, ‘and’ or ‘because’. Also check out ways to ‘avoid gobbledygook, waffle and jargon’ for effective communication at the workplace.
