I was so excited to receive a digital copy of this guide. As a writer, I am often in search of resources to help improve my skills. As an educator, I enjoy finding materials to help improve my classroom. The facets of content were explained well. I think being purposeful in our speech is a wonderful thing to be reminded of. There were some points in the book that I felt weren’t as clear as they could have been, but overall this is a wonderful resource.

This is a thoughtful and easy to read work on ways that folks of all ages can be more aware of their language usage and be more adaptable in various situations and with various audiences. I plan to use excerpts from this with my university students in professional writing courses as well as to train tutors in our writing center. There were a few moments that I felt were not explained as clearly or were odd suggestions, but overall, still a really helpful resource.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for an eARC copy to review.
