Free eBook Reveals How to Write in Plain English for General and Technical Readers

"How to Write Clear, Concise, and Simple Sentences that Readers Love!"

(prHWY.com) July 16, 2012 - Myrtle Beach, SC -- LousyWriter. com (http://www.LousyWriter.com) has published a free ebook called, "How to Write Clear, Concise, and Simple Sentences that Readers Love!" to teach writers and non-writers how to write clearly and simply without sacrificing quality. The ebook helps writers to get their message across to two classes of readers: the general public and the educated industry professional.

Most readers are not Pulitzer prize-winning scientists; thus the best way to communicate is to use short sentences that focus on one point per paragraph. The simple rule is to write for your readers. When writing for the general public, keep it simple, and remove any jargon that could cause confusion. When writing for educated professionals, you can expand your vocabulary and use longer sentences and paragraphs; however, you must limit jargon that may cause confusion as well. The aim here is to write clearly, not necessarily concisely.

Writing for either group of readers -- for the general public or for industry experts -- is challenging. In writing for average adult readers it is preferred to write plainly and naturally at a grade 7 reading level; but to write for the highly-specialized tradesperson, you must learn how to use every technical word correctly and you must have something new and interesting to say.

"How to Write Clear, Concise, and Simple Sentences that Readers Love!" instructs writers on how to write coherently for both classes of readers, using rules based on plain English writing while safeguarding the two basic applications of all skillful writing: 1) writing on a topic that appeals to readers; and 2) choosing the right words to convey your message with simplicity.

The free ebook, authored by Brian A. Scott, a skilled freelance writer, includes 13 detailed chapters, ranging from "How to Be Detailed and Yet Simple," "How to Adhere to a Systematic and Effective Order," "How to Prevent Hackneyed, Overused Expressions," and "How to Provide a Clear and Well-Defined Perspective." Each chapter offers "before" and "after" examples so readers can see what works and what doesn't work in writing clearly and concisely.
