Revision Fairy Tales: 21 Writing Mistakes You’ll Never Make Again

by Stefanie Flaxman

 
 

WHAT’S THIS?


The English language is tricky. One word can have multiple uses. Two words, with almost identical spellings, can have separate meanings.


It’s easy to get confused, and most people do.


Revision Fairy Tales is a brief catalog of commonly misused words and practical explanations on proper usage that you’ll remember effortlessly.


This ebook is a starting place—an examination of just 21 word pairs.


Each simple study highlights the differences between two similar words.


Certain words are used more frequently than others. Make sure that you are using them properly.



 


It’s no secret that grammar is boring and technical. So, don’t think of ‘Fairy Tales as grammar instructions. You’re simply learning how to make your writing more clear and effective.


No fluff. Immediate clarity.


WHY DO I WANT IT?


Because Revision Fairy Tales isn’t a reference manual. Each chapter is a mini-lesson that you can immediately incorporate in your writing habits.


You’ll spend more time writing correctly, and less time revising later.


The job market sucks right now. I know.


When you learn proper grammar within a meaningful context, choosing incorrect language becomes as unlikely as mistaking an apple for an orange (assuming that you are familiar with fruit).


Not making mistakes = You look smarter.


Let your ideas shine. Don’t tarnish them with inaccuracies.


People will want to buy your writing or hire you to write for them.
