Which grammar book(s) do you recommend to have at our desks?

Hi Josh, I’m part of your online community. This video has some excellent information in it.

I wonder if you’ve considered generating more content just from this video alone by publishing a couple chapters as standalone content? Those videos could then link back to this video. Maybe you’ve done that and I just haven’t noticed.

Regardless—just wanted to let you know I got a lot of value from this video.

Thanks, and as you say, Cheers!

Great great vid. Better than a dozen others I watched. Can’t believe not more views. I guess it’s a small market,

I would recommend a technical degree instead of the writing degree. Technical writing is different from academic writing. There’s some research and good writing skills are needed but there’s no need for learning all of that English literature
