영어로 글을 쓰고자 하는 모든 사람에게 도움이 될 만한 책. 105페이지 정도밖에 되지 않지만, 명료하고 논리적인 글을 쓰기 위해 필요한 갖가지 정보를 담고 있다. 작가는 문법과 구두법에 관한 사항 뿐만 아니라 적절한 문장 및 문단 구성법, 적절한 표현 고르는 법, 흔히 범하기 쉬운 실수를 피하는 법 등 글쓰기에 필요한 여러 가지를 가르쳐 준다. 실제 사용해 본 사람들의 반응도 상당히 좋은 편이다. 영작문을 올바로 하기 위해 꼭 참고해야할 책.

AFTERWORD
GLOSSARY
[Second Foreword]
This is a short book because most books about writing are filled with bullshit. Fiction writiers, present company included, don't understand very much about what they do-not why it works when it's good, not why it doesn't when it's bad. I figured the shorter th book, the less the bullshit.
One notalbe exception to the bullshit rule is 'The Elements of Style', by William Strunk Jr. and E. B. White. THere is little or detectable bullshit in that book. (Of course it's short; at eighty-five pages it's much shorter than this one.) I'll tell you right now that every aspiring writer should read 'The Elements of Style'. Rule 17 in the chapter titled Pinciple of Composition is "Omit needless words." I will try to do that here.
from『On Writing』 by Stephen King(p.11)
