Writers Mistakes: A Handbook of Common Blunders and Ways to Mend Them is a comprehensive guide that shows confusing examples from literature, newspapers, and other writings that could be made easier to understand. Readers will find hints on how to avoid certain words, phrases, and common mistakes that can obscure the messages of ones work.

Franklin Olmsted, a successful criminal defense attorney, served on Maryland’s Commission to Revise the Annotated Code for many years and was instrumental in modernizing and making the statutes more understandable. The vast majority of the Commission’s recommendations were voted into law and Mr. Olmsted, for his expert editorial review work, was named an “Admiral of the Chesapeake Bay” by Governor Harry Hughes.
