Reviews
"An utterly delightful book to read, Dreyer's English will stand among the classics on how to use the English language properly." --Elizabeth Strout "A mind-blower--sure to jumpstart any writing project, just by exposing you, the writer, to Dreyer's astonishing level of sentence-awareness." --George Saunders "Farewell, Strunk and White. Benjamin Dreyer's brilliant, pithy, incandescently intelligent book is to contemporary writing what Geoffrey Chaucer's poetry was to medieval English: a gift that broadens and deepens the art and the science of literature by illustrating that convention should not stand in the way of creativity, so long as that creativity is expressed with clarity and with conviction." --Jon Meacham "It is Benjamin Dreyer's intense love for the English language and his passion for the subject that make the experience of reading Dreyer's English such a pleasure, almost regardless of the invaluable and practical purpose his book serves in such dark and confusing times for grammar and meaning." --Ayelet Waldman & Michael Chabon "If Oscar Wilde had wanted to be helpful as well as brilliant, if E. B. White and Noël Coward had had a wonderful little boy who grew up to cherish and model clarity, the result would be Benjamin Dreyer and his frankly perfect book. Anyone who writes anything should have a copy by their computer, and perhaps another on the nightstand, just for pleasure." --Amy Bloom " Dreyer's English is essential to anyone who cares about language. It's as smart and funny as Dreyer is himself. He makes you smile and makes you smarter at the same time." --Lyle Lovett "Like Dreyer himself, this book reassures as it teaches. The reader never feels spoken down to, as in so many other style guides, but is instead lifted up, inspired to communicate with more clarity and zing. I'll be buying this for friends." --Brian Koppelman, co-creator and showrunner of Billions "This work is that rare writing handbook that writers might actually want to read straight through, rather than simply consult." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review), "An utterly delightful book to read, Dreyer's English will stand among the classics on how to use the English language properly." --Elizabeth Strout "Farewell, Strunk and White. Benjamin Dreyer's brilliant, pithy, incandescently intelligent book is to contemporary writing what Geoffrey Chaucer's poetry was to medieval English: a gift that broadens and deepens the art and the science of literature by illustrating that convention should not stand in the way of creativity, so long as that creativity is expressed with clarity and with conviction. Dreyer's English does more than exhort us to do better. It offers us an example of what it's like to be the best." --Jon Meacham "It is Benjamin Dreyer's intense love for the English language and his passion for the subject that make the experience of reading Dreyer's English such a pleasure, almost regardless of the invaluable and practical purpose his book serves in such dark and confusing times for grammar and meaning." --Ayelet Waldman & Michael Chabon "If Oscar Wilde had wanted to be helpful as well as brilliant, if E.

One encounters wisdom and good sense on nearly every page of Dreyer's English ." -- The Wall Street Journal "Destined to become a classic." -- The Millions "Brimming with wit and revelatory wisdom, this style manual-cum-linguistic jubilee from Random House's copy chief . . . entertains as it enlightens." -- O: The Oprah Magazine "An utterly delightful book to read, Dreyer's English will stand among the classics on how to use the English language properly." --Elizabeth Strout "A mind-blower--sure to jumpstart any writing project, just by exposing you, the writer, to Dreyer's astonishing level of sentence-awareness." --George Saunders "Farewell, Strunk and White.

Synopsis
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - A sharp, funny grammar guide they'll actually want to read, from Random House's longtime copy chief and one of Twitter's leading language gurus NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY O: THE OPRAH MAGAZINE "Essential (and delightful )"-- People We all write, all the time: books, blogs, emails. Lots and lots of emails. And we all want to write better. Benjamin Dreyer is here to help. As Random House's copy chief, Dreyer has upheld the standards of the legendary publisher for more than two decades. He is beloved by authors and editors alike--not to mention his followers on social media--for deconstructing the English language with playful erudition. Now he distills everything he has learned from the myriad books he has copyedited and overseen into a useful guide not just for writers but for everyone who wants to put their best prose foot forward. As authoritative as it is amusing, Dreyer's English offers lessons on punctuation, from the underloved semicolon to the enigmatic en dash; the rules and nonrules of grammar, including why it's OK to begin a sentence with "And" or "But" and to confidently split an infinitive; and why it's best to avoid the doldrums of the Wan Intensifiers and Throat Clearers, including "very," "rather," "of course," and the dreaded "actually." Dreyer will let you know whether "alright" is all right (sometimes) and even help you brush up on your spelling--though, as he notes, "The problem with mnemonic devices is that I can never remember them." And yes: "Only godless savages eschew the series comma." Chockful of advice, insider wisdom, and fun facts, this book will prove to be invaluable to everyone who wants to shore up their writing skills, mandatory for people who spend their time editing and shaping other people's prose, and--perhaps best of all--an utter treat for anyone who simply revels in language. Praise for Dreyer 's English "Playful, smart, self-conscious, and personal . . . One encounters wisdom and good sense on nearly every page of Dreyer's English ." -- The Wall Street Journal "Destined to become a classic." -- The Millions "Dreyer can help you . . . with tips on punctuation and spelling. . . .
