Random House Guide to Good Writing
"This book belongs with Strunk and White on any writer's--and teacher's--desk. It should give the frail and troubled who get tangled up in I-me, like-as, and other barbed-wire entanglements the courage to go on."--Pulitzer Prize-winning author Wallace Stegner"A joy of this writing life is learning from Mitchell Ivers. He shares his unerring eye for what is right and never does anything to your manuscript--except make it better. When you are teetering on the brink, about to plunge, Mitchell Ivers crawls out on the ledge and drags you back inside."--Pulitzer Prize-winning writer Edna Buchanan"The accumulated wisdom between these two covers will profit thousands of writers and make their millions of readers happy."--Pulitzer Prize-winning writer Hedrick Smith"Every writer needs a good editor and every writer should be as fortunate as I was to have Mitchell Ivers as my editor. He is a master of his craft."--Pulitzer Prize-winning author Stanley Karnow"Every writer should have this book--even highly trained professional writers such as me. I mean I."--Pulitzer Prize-winning humor writer Dave Barry
