Book Review: Writing Places: The Life Journey of a Writer and Teacher

Writing Places: The Life Journey of a Writer and Teacher by William Zinsser
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Zinsser wrote about a lifetime of writing, a lifetime of jobs, and a lifetime of places where those were joined. It was informative and enjoyable to read some of the background for his book “On Writing Well.” He was a product of a different era. I chuckled thinking about his comment on not trusting a business man who wasn’t wearing a coat and tie. He updated his book throughout life and strengthened it in many ways. His primary aim of clarifying writing through decluttered language is timeless.
