PRINCIPLES OF STRONG WRITING

Once you are ready to begin writing, there are some strategies to make your article the best it can be. An invaluable source to help you write a fantastic piece is the classic The Elements of Style by William Strunk and E.B. White. This “little book” crams a wealth of information into a small amount of space. Since the first printing in 1920, this resource has been a staple among writers and is still as relevant today as it was when it was released. The information about using strong verbs, tight writing, and specific language continues to be helpful to anyone interested in improving their writing skills. Plus, the highbrow humor related to the English language and the misuse of it will make any writer smile.

Mark Garvey, author of Stylized: A Slightly Obsessive History of Strunk & White’s The Elements of Style, believes in the power of The Elements of Style and the message it conveys. In his book he states, “As practical as it is for helping writers over common hurdles, The Elements of Style also embodies a worldview, a philosophy that, for some, is as appealing as anything either author ever managed to get down on paper.”

Here are some tips from Strunk and White that will help strengthen your writing and give you the tools needed to write solid and effective articles.
