On Writing Well by William Zinsser (1922-2015) is one of the best books on nonfiction writing. In 300 pages, it goes over writing principles, methods, forms, and attitudes. Zinsser was a master of writing, and one of the people who taught writing with gusto. He leaves an immense legacy, having influenced an entire generation of writers. In this episode, I read some excerpts from the “Principles” section in On Writing Well to give you an idea of the golden pieces of advice you’ll find in this book.
