Albert Einstein wrote so simply, clearly, and efficiently that grade-school children could understand him. Does your writing merit such praise? If not, then please read my book, A Thinker’s Guide To Effective Writing, for its guidance is designed to produce such text. The book will help almost everyone, from students to college professors and professional writers. The book is not a primer on grammar or punctuation. Its theme is simplicity of expression, and its model is A. Einstein, who sought simplicity in everything he did. The book even shows ways that the authors of such esteemed books as Write it Right, Sin and Syntax, The Elements of Style, and The Chicago Manual of Style can improve their writing. Here are some readers’ comments about the book:
- “The book is unique and quite good!” — Becky Gushwa of
The Woodlands, TX
- “The book is amazing and revolutionary. It has revolutionized my
writing.” — Doctoral student Bill Armosky of
Kingwood, TX
- “As soon as I went through your work, I recognized its value. [...] The layout is wonderful—the way you present a concept in a box and
then develop the idea. Very readable and easily understood.” — Dr.
Barry Wilbratte, finance-department chairman and associate dean,
Cameron School of Business, University of St. Thomas
- “If you want to improve your writing—in email messages, resumes,
letters, articles or even novels—then this is the book for
you. You will find many helpful suggestions to make your writing
more direct and concise.” — Chris Paisley of
Saratoga, CA
- Chris Paisley gave the book to a student who was graduating from college. She told Chris that she wished she had gotten the book as she started college.
- “Dr. Bailey has written a book on improving your writing. I have read the
book and believe it will help our faculty, especially the junior
faculty, understand the significance of paying more attention to
writing (and not just research). [Consequently, I have invited Dr.
Bailey to share his thoughts on writing with us at a faculty
seminar.]” — Dr. Munir Quddus, dean of Prairie View
A&M’s College of Business
- “[Bill
Bailey’s new book] presents 2 sets of rules fundamentally necessary to being able to write
effectively. One set focuses upon creating a text that is simple,
efficient, and so clearly laid out that even grade-school children
can understand what is written. The goal is to write as simply as
possible without sacrificing content. The 25 rules comprising this set are presented, explained and illustrated
with total accessibility. The second set of 12 rules promotes effective writing without consciously seeking
efficiency, but efficiency often is a welcome by-product. Profuse
with examples by writers ranging from Francis Bacon and Winston
Churchill, to Albert Einstein and George Orwell, ‘A Thinker's
Guide To Effective Writing’ is a complete course of easily
assimilated and practical instruction that is particularly
recommended to the attention of students, aspiring authors,
educators, editors, editorialists, journalists, attorneys, and
anyone else who needs to communicate by writing whether it be on
paper or on computer.” — James A. Cox,
Editor-in-Chief, The Midwest Book Review
