Unlike Typical Grammar and Writing Books

The two Grammar and Writing for Creators books don't merely rehash middle and high school basic grammar lessons as most popular tiny (under $10) grammar books on Amazon.com do.
Instead, these two books teach comprehensive techniques on how to write clear, comprehensible, and refined prose; the writing book even has a section on writing eloquently, a technique almost never taught in writing books.
The books teach dozens of new techniques, some of which you have never learned.
They teach new techniques to write impressive essays and articles.
The techniques outlined in Chapter 6 ("How Best to Move and Direct Men's and Women's Feelings"¹) of the writing book can be used in any language.
You get two books in one: Get all the grammar and all the writing lessons you will ever need.

How to avoid making the most common errors and mistakes
How to identify and fix the weaknesses in your writing
Nearly two dozen techniques and instructions on how to write skillfully
Specific techniques that skilled writers have used for hundreds of years to write clear, comprehensible, and refined prose
New techniques (inspired by Churchill, Voltaire, Dr. King, Bertrand Russell, and others) for writing compelling essays and articles—alternatives for the worn-out, five-paragraph essay
Techniques for how to move and direct men's and women's feelings, including a new powerful figure of speech similar to the metaphor

I love this book! Chapters 1 & 4 refreshed a lot of the rules I've long forgotten. It's also not boring like most grammar books.

If I had to single out the thing that has most contributed to my success, it would probably be my writing skills.Grammar & Writing for Creators is a great way to become a better writer, and I would encourage anybody to put in the time and effort required. Believe me, it'll be worth it.

The book is good! I had the computer read several sections to me and I must say I'm very impressed with what I heard. Though I'm not a grammar expert, I consider myself to be "advanced-level" in punctuation ... and I found [the] punctuation coverage to be bang on!

The general advice for writing---over several chapters---also feels like stuff I can identify with.

I recommend any writer, engineer, creator to read Richard's book. Grammar and Writing for Creators answered my questions on correct adverb placement, the difference between Who and Whom and the bizarre rules behind punctuation for square brackets and dashes. If you not only want to write correctly but write well, you have to read Chapter 5 and Chapter 6. You will improve your writing style and your persuasion skills.

Definitely a worthy book to buy!

A great set of books. Thank you for producing this. I'm self-educated (a high school dropout) and this is the most approachable and complete book about Grammar that I've read. It has noticeably improved my command of English.

Grammar and Writing Books for Creators?

Creators write professional content often read by educated and highly-educated readers; content such as professional emails, essays, tutorials, blog posts, articles, academic papers, and books.

Though busy, creators must communicate effectively and write and sound not only educated but also refined, not only grammatical but also reputable, not only knowledgeable but also compelling. We must communicate effectively because poor grammar and weak writing could compromise our credibility, reputation, and even our businesses (especially start-ups).

Consequently, we have to write well. Some of us must improve or risk being viewed as semiliterate, dull, slovenly, or uncultivated. But we can’t improve our writing by reading just any grammar book, for most are too limiting, covering just the basics and skimming over essential topics; some others are too academic or demanding.

The two Grammar and Writing for Creators books fill the gap between too limiting and too complex.

Be Inspired

You already have the language instinct to use language effectively and the aptitude to write creatively. You have to learn only the grammatical rules that matter, the errors to avoid, and the grammatical constructions that will serve as your tools—the repertoire in your writing toolkit.

You will be inspired to write the best you ever have.
