"Vex, Hex, Smash, Smooch is more than just a writing handbook; it's a key to unlocking every writer's innate creativity by offering countless paths to verbal expressiveness." San Francisco Chronicle
Great sentences pivot on great verbs. In Vex, Hex, Smash, Smooch, Constance Hale, best-selling author of Sin and Syntax, zeroes in on verbs that make bad writing sour and good writing sing. Each chapter in Vex, Hex, Smash, Smooch features four sections: Vex tackles tough syntax, Hex debunks myths about verbs, Smash warns of bad writing habits, and Smooch showcases exemplary writing. A veteran journalist and writing teacher, Hale peppers her advice with pop-culture references and adapts her expertise for writers of every level. With examples ranging from the tangled clauses of Henry James and the piercing insight of Joan Didion to the punchy gerunds of the Coen brothers and the passive verbs of CEOs on trial, Vex, Hex, Smash, Smooch offers a reenergized take on the little despot of the sentence.
