The Red Pencil #1

About the Book

The Red Pencil #1    by Chris Redgate

  • The Red Pencil #1 is a complete collection of one year’s worth of published columns (312)—each a gem. Redgate cogently covers a huge range of subjects including literature, lexicography, languages, linguistics, and sauerkraut. His pieces will do much more to help you “Write It Right” than that silly grade school primer.

  • Chris Redgate writes a syndicated column

about language that appears daily in

newspapers nationwide, including The

Washington Post. He earned degrees from the

University of California at Santa Barbara and

Stanford University but, like Samuel Johnson,

still considers himself an autodidact.
