Whatever your experience or expertise as a writer, you can always benefit from new techniques for fleshing out ideas, developing technique or revising work, not to mention brushing up on the rules of punctuation, grammar and style.

All of this and more is covered in tremendous detail in The Oxford Essential Guide to Writing.

Author Thomas Kane, who also penned other guides for Oxford, explains the premise for this guide:

“Obviously, there are limits: one cannot learn to write like Shakespeare or Charles Dickens. You can’t become a genius by reading a book.

“But you don’t have to be a genius to write clear, effective English. You just have to understand what writing involves and to know how to handle words and sentences and paragraphs. That you can learn. If you do, you can communicate what you want to communicate in words other people can understand. This book will help by showing you what good writers do.”

The Oxford Essential Guide to Writing is divided into several parts which address a variety of issues. These include:

* The Writing Process
* The Essay
* The Expository Paragraph
* The Sentence
* Diction
* Description And Narration
* Punctuation
