E.B. White and William Strunk Jr. might have told you to "place yourself in the background; do not inject opinion" in your writing—but does that style really work with today's readers?

In this lively and informative book, bestselling author Arthur Plotnik shares ideas and examples that will help you create attention-grabbing, unforgettable writing.

Plotnik covers freshness ("the wallop of the new"), writing for new generations, the "nervy limits," incandescent word choice, clarity, diction and more. Spunk & Bite also includes a brief section with exercises for practice and study.

"Unlike Strunk & White's catalog of abstractions and rhetorical ruler slaps, [Spunk & Bite] is refreshingly concrete," says Poynter Online.

Add some spunk and bite to your writing by heeding the advice in this book.
