Whether you write an occasional professional letter or a daily newspaper column, William Zinsser's On Writing Well should be required reading. Simplicity is Zinsser's mantra: he preaches a stripped-down writing style, strong and clear. He has no patience for excess (most use of adjectives and adverbs, he writes, just adds clutter). He recommends that all writers of nonfiction read their work aloud and write under the assumption that "the reader knows nothing" (not to be confused with assuming the reader's an idiot).
