Joseph Williams’s Style: Lessons in Clarity and Grace is one of our field’s most enduring and influential guides to prose style. Williams approaches style from a linguistic perspective: he identifies features of sentences, passages, and documents that lead readers to experience writing as clear, coherent, and graceful, and he shows writers how they can use these features to make their own texts more readable.

This webinar, facilitated by Joseph Bizup, who revised the 11th edition of Williams’s classic book, will introduce Williams’s principles and then explore ways they can be applied creatively and effectively in classroom teaching.
