scholar-writers, but to writers, period. Pamela Haag offers sharp
and specific advice about how to avoid jargon, make your prose less

it’s possible to write engagingly about complex and difficult
subjects and to produce work that is ‘both timely in thought and
timeless in expression.’”—James Surowiecki, author of The Wisdom of
Crowds

with a proper measure of ambition thrown in. These are piercing
truths. How I wish I’d had this book by my side when I was trying
to make sense of my first manuscript—and my second.”—Jonathan
Holloway, President and University Professor, Rutgers
University
