This review is from:
A Time to Draft and a Time to Craft: Twelve Templates to Turn a Timeless Sentence (Kindle Edition)
This is the book I wish I had when I first started writing. Some many books go into grammar, but not many show you the variation of sentence structures.
Simple grammar descriptions don't explain the variety of sentences that are possible. This book shows the variety, its shows you with plenty of useful examples - both invented and from classic and modern literature. Seeing how the classic authors write using the sentence templates, gives an great insight as to why you can use the more complex forms and how to use them. It allows you to see the usefulness and perfect flow of how Shakespeare created his classics.
The book also expels some myths of sentence structure like starting a sentence with a conjunction, if the bible is allowed to do it then why not everyone else. I liked the examples of a sub clause starting a sentence rather than ending. Along with the examples there are plenty of exercises to practice, which I mean to re-visit again in order to lay the foundation of better writing.
Although the subject is a dry subject, the book goes at a good pace to keep you working through. It is referenced well if you ever wish to return.
I received this book in exchange for an honest review.

For the very young writers, I would be better advised to seek help from professionals, such as those essays.io. They will certainly help to improve essay writing skills. Just try it.
Interesting topic for students, very useful. Sorry mates, may you advice to me the place where is better to pay for an essay? Cuz nowadays there a lot of writing services and I cant make a choise.
What an article! You are a really fantastic writer! But to be honest, I prefer to custom term paper and do not worry about it and be confident in an excellent result of their work. But who knows, maybe one day my level of writing will be better.
