Here s the book that covers it all--from
dealing with trite phrases, ambiguous
references, and the deadly passive verb to
making sure you end up saying exactly
what you mean.
In Getting the Words Right, Theodore
Chcney breaks down the unwieldy process
called "editing" into three manageable
steps: Revision by Reduction, Revision by
Rearranging and Revision by Rewording.
He shows you how to use each of these
techniques to tackle obvious writing prob-
lems, such as awkward transitions and
wordy sentences, then how to dig deeper to
uncover--and fix--the hidden flaws in
your emphasis, organization, and style.
You ll eavesdrop on his analyses of writing
samples from students, clients--even his
own work--and practice taking sentences
apart, reassembling them, cutting excess
words, and rearranging paragraphs all to
help you replace haphazard editing attempts
with an organized plan. The beauty of
Cheney s system is that it applies to every
piece of writing you do: memos, term
papers, reports even letters.
Getting the Words Right gives you the
instruction and reassurance you need to
become a more skillful, confident, percep-
tive writer the kind of writer who can
polisb a dull piece of fiction or nonfiction
into sparkling prose...before your boss or
editor sees it.
