What is Write It Right: a Little Blacklist of Literary Faults about?
1 online resource (70 pages) While famous for his satire and dark comedy, Bierce was deadly serious when it came to English usage. His prolific career as a columnist, journalist and newspaperman gave Bierce immense practical knowledge when it came to the business of writing, and he shares his secrets in this concise and instructive volume.
