Improving Sentence Structure teaches self-editing skills that help the writer avoid common writing problems like sentence fragments and run-on sentences. Sentences are the building blocks of good writing. People who struggle with writing sentences will obviously struggle when they are expected to write paragraphs or essays. A firm grasp of basic sentence structure allows writers to say what they mean in a way that others can easily understand.

In this wickedly humorous manual, language columnist June Casagrande uses grammar and syntax to show exactly what makes some sentences great—and other sentences suck. Great writing isn’t born, it’s built—sentence by sentence. But too many writers—and writing guides—overlook this most important unit. The result? Manuscripts that will never be published and writing careers that will never begin. With chapters on “Conjunctions That Kill” and “Words Gone Wild,” this lighthearted guide is perfect for anyone who’s dead serious about writing, from aspiring novelists to nonfiction writers, conscientious students to cheeky literati. So roll up your sleeves and prepare to craft one bold, effective sentence after another. Your readers will thank you.
