Description
Known affectionately as “Q,” Quiller-Couch strips away the mystery of great writing with crisp, witty, and timeless advice. His famous exhortation to “murder your darlings”—to cut unnecessary or indulgent prose—continues to shape writers striving for clarity, power, and grace.
More than just technical guidance, this book is a lively invitation to see writing as a living, breathing art. With engaging examples from literary masters and practical encouragement to hone your own style, Quiller-Couch shows how great writing begins with clear thinking and careful expression.
Whether you are a student, a seasoned author, or simply a lover of language, On the Art of Writing offers essential tools to sharpen your voice, elevate your style, and ignite your passion for the written word. This enduring classic is a must-read for anyone ready to transform how they write—and how they think.
First published in 1916.
