"Good Writing: 36 Ways to Improve Your Sentences" is a new book by married writers Anne Lamott and Neal Allen.

It guides writers through a series of rules about the craft of putting a sentence together and fine tune any type of writing — from a book and social media post to a professional email. Along the way, they want writers to stay curious.

Allen is a former journalist and now author and coach. Lamott is a bestselling author of more than 20 books, including the beloved "Bird by Bird," a guide to writing and life that was first published in 1994.

KPBS' Julia Dixon Evans sat down with the author duo ahead of their San Diego book event at Balboa Theatre this week.

Guests:

• Anne Lamott, bestselling author of "Bird by Bird: Some Instructions on Writing and Life"
• Neal Allen, author and life coach
