Win a Copy of Strunk and White’s Elements of Style
It’s a slim little book, but boy oh boy does it have the benefits if you have to write something.
I’m talking about Strunk and White’s The Elements of Style. (There’s a picture and description here if you’re interested.) If you’re a student, or a writer, it’s extremely valuable. And guess what? I’ve got a copy of this little book to give away. If you’d like to win, just leave a comment on this post by Tuesday, November 25th. I’ll announce the winner the next day. Good luck!

My very own old, worn, loved copy of Strunk and White disappeared during the years when my kids were little. I have been meaning to replace it, as I do a lot of writing and it’s a very handy, wonderful resource. So here I am, with a post. Thanks for showcasing this terrific little book.

A book anyone who writes anything should have. The copy I had from high school disappeared years ago when a friend borrowed it to help her through a creative writing class. Every time I visit her, I sneak peeks around to see if I can find it, but no luck. I would love to win this to get one back in my possession and stop making those trips to the library.
