The Rude Guide to Being a Better Writer aims to help anyone who wants to improve their writing. It explains and demonstrates how plain English helps writers to write clearly and concisely, which in turn helps their readers to easily understand what they have written. The book supports the path to becoming a better writer with step-by-step guidance, storytelling, and comprehensive and relatable examples. At the same time, it is shot through with entertaining facts and adult humour. In the same way that David Mitchell’s Unruly is a funny book about a serious subject, this book will appeal to people who want to improve their writing, but without the process being too academic. It leads its readers by the hand, delivering clear guidance in an entertaining way. This makes the transition to being a better writer easy and enjoyable: a guide to better writing that is refreshingly down-to-earth and relatable, and really quite rude too.
