The 7 Deadly Sins (of Writing)

The 7 Deadly Sins (of Writing) takes a whimsical approach to correcting common "pitfalls of prose" that any writer can use to grow in their craft. Borrowing an idea from the Middle Ages, the book likens each of the seven Deadly Don'ts to the Seven Deadly Sins-and flips each one on its head so the reader can take away a Divine Do instead. As a veteran book editor, the author shares the most common mistakes she sees writers make and how they can avoid them.
