Just going by the title, I thought this was going to be related to William Zinsser's book of the same name. It's not, though of course many of the topics are shared between the two.
It's been a few years since I've returned to it, but the material in Zinsser's book has been useful to me as an engineer that has to occasionally write for both fellow engineers and non-technical folks. I would recommend Zinsser's book if you like the content in the article and wouldn't mind a bit more.
- gewaltig 2y agoI thought the same. Zinsser’s classic changed the way I perceived writing.
- d_bud 2y agoZinsser’s book is great. I’d also recommend Stephen King’s ‘On Writing: A memoir of the craft’. A shorter, easier read, shares a lot of topics.
