Regis Nisengwe -

We do not write to be understood. We write to be impossible to misunderstand. That demands clarity. Here are a few resources to improve the clarity of your writing:

  • Elements of Style by William Strunk, JR. and E. B. White [Book] — A classic reference book to improve your writing style. It emphasizes the rules of usage and principles of composition most commonly violated.
  • Smart Brevity [Book] by Jim VandeHei, Mike Allen, and Roy Schwartz — The philosophy of this book is simple: less is more. Say more with less. It teaches you how to make your writing simple, clear, and direct.
  • Hemingwayapp [App] — an application that makes your writing bold and clear. The app is an editor that highlights and corrects grammar, fluency, and sentence structure to improve the clarity and correctness of your writing.
  • Grammarly [App] — It is a typing assistant that reviews spelling, grammar, punctuation, clarity, engagement, and delivery mistakes in English texts. It detects plagiarism and suggests replacements for the identified errors.
