A book for editing (rewriting)
This book covers a lot of topics that are essential to the craft of writing with added humor, which is the best. Best book for the first step towards writing and editing with lots of contemporary examples. Editing is actually what makes a writer, that is, to always rewrite the manuscript, instead of snobbing at it, after reconsidering words that were used. It's the most essential part of getting the book published.

The media could not be loaded. I bought this book on September 2023. I am writing this review on May 2024. Since then, I read this book cover-to-cover twice.I return to several sections of this book almost every week and find something nuanced to take back from it when I get stuck in my writing activities.This book has single-handedly helped in publishing 2 case studies and 1 research article in top quartile Scopus indexed journals in a span of seven months. And I am NOT from academia and have full time day job in the tech industry.If you want to be a published non-fiction writer, this book has the power to create you.

Excellent for writers getting into long form content
Writers need to write to get better but often times we as writers forget or are too lazy to revisit our work to improve it, edit it. This is especially to sharpen your writing skills, and chop the unnecessary parts which we hold on to just because we wrote them. It's about writing with originality and writing for the reader. Excellent book to get you to start writing better.
