He's even been knighted for his services to journalism. In DO I MAKE MYSELF CLEAR?, he brings his indispensable insight to us all in his definite guide to writing well. The right words are oxygen to our ideas, but the digital era, with all of its TTYL, LMK, and WTF, has been cutting off that oxygen flow. The compulsion to be precise has vanished from our culture, and in writing of every kind we see a trend towards more--more speed and more information but far less clarity. Evans provides practical examples of how editing and rewriting can make for better communication, even in the digital age. DO I MAKE MYSELF CLEAR? is an essential text, and one that will provide every writer an editor at his shoulder.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Aina Haina Public Library Adult Nonfiction 808.042 Ev Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 808.042 Ev Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 808.042 Evans Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 808.042 Ev Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kihei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 808.042 Ev Checked In Add Copy to MyList Laupahoehoe P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 808.042 Evans Checked In Add Copy to MyList Manoa Public Library Adult Nonfiction 808.042 Ev Checked In Add Copy to MyList Nanakuli Public Library Adult Nonfiction 808.042 Ev Checked In Add Copy to MyList Wahiawa Public Library Adult Nonfiction 808.042 Eva Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waimanalo P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 808.042 Ev Checked In Add Copy to MyList
