Game changer!
So easy to read, everything we should have been taught in English in school. A nice surprise is that you can translate concepts to presentations and public speaking too

Simply brilliant!
It pulls you from sentence to sentence, paragraph to paragraph and page to page while teaching you how to do the same for your readers.Simple and accessible, no guff. Best book I have read on writing, and I have tried many.Read a few pages one evening and applied it the very next day. Useful for writing and communication in general, slides, emails and speaking.

A good read
An interesting book full useful tips and advice for would be writers, although not so much for budding fiction authors I have to say.However, I did find it useful. An interesting read.

The proof is in the pudding
"How to Write Clearly" delivers on its title by being clear, calm and helpful from the first page to the last. It's one of the most focused writing guides I've ever come across, with no fluff or digression. Instead, Albrighton pays unwavering attention to the techniques that will help non-writers become competent writers, and competent writers become great writers.The book caters for all levels. The first chapters talk about organizing your thoughts and research, before diving into basic mechanics like word choice, sentence formation, and paragraph structure. The latter part of the book looks at more advanced topics like communication styles, persuasion techniques, and UX writing.A useful book for all writers. Heartily recommended.

An excellent resource for any writer
This is a book about how to take your reader on a journey from not knowing to knowing. It covers every step of the writing process, from defining your objectives and researching your audience to getting the right words out in the right order.It's easy to read, digest and understand. Key points at the end of each chapter provide a useful summary as you go, and the author brings the theory to life with good humour, practical tips and relevant examples. I really enjoyed it.

Something for those in B2B
As a small business owner in the engineering sector, this is probably the most useful book I have read on creating appropriate copy.

Just what I needed to know.
I thought I knew how to write clearly until I came across this book. Turns out, there are so many other aspects of writing clearly that I was not aware of nor was taking into consideration when writing my material. Very informative, with practical tips and resources. Don’t look further. This is just what you need to improve your writing. Very pleased with my purchase.

Returned the book
I own a few books to improve my writing skills and this one was too basic for me. So, I returned. Perhaps useful if you are just starting to improve your writing skills

Worth its weight in gold!
I love this book and I'm a medical writer. Tom has done a fantastic job with this book. It really resonated with me as a person who writes sensitive health content for the general public. Please buy this book. You will get so much more out of it than any course you could buy.I think this is the kind of book that will stay on my desk and I will read it often. Definitely not a book that gathers dust on your shelf.It's easy to read and there are so many nuggets of wisdom, a well-written and well-researched book worth its weight in gold.Also, email Tom (the author)! He is lovely and replied to my email :)-Virginia C
