100 Ways to Improve your Writing is a simple and useful look at the way to improve your writing, no matter what you write. If nothing else, Provost reminds you of practicing your writing. I wrote down some of his lists just to give me a continuing nudge.

Some might find this book enlightening. Most will be a bit confused by the short advice backed with zero evidence apart from a couple of well-selected quotes. It's not bad and I'm certainly not the target, but this book mixes all kinds of writing, giving wrong ideas about what is WRITING.
I am a fervent believer in the toolbox way of learning instead of this long list of well-meaning, very stale tips.

Činjenica da čitam o pisanju umesto da zapravo pišem je stvarno nov nivo prokrastrinacije.
(ovo je okejiš, zapravo, može da bude korisno za studente osnovnih studija, ne znam za pisanje fikcije ili šta god).

A quick, concise and yet comprehensive read on how to improve your writing, including tips on self-editing, common grammar mistakes, developing your style, and even overcoming writer's block. Although I knew a lot of what was presented here, it was a great refresher for me and will be an easy book to reference in the future.

Short, helpful book to improve your writing. It has a lot of tips, suggestions, and advice. I felt like it was geared toward more of the academic side than the creative side, but they are related. The only reason I deducted a star is because I knew a lot of it already (I’ve read numerous books on writing and am getting a MFA in it). If you’re new to writing, I’d recommend this book!
