Welcome to Good Sentences, a resource designed by the University of Michigan Law Library to help you find and eventually produce pieces of writing that are clear, compelling, and actually enjoyable to read.
Each month, Professor Patrick Barry sends out a menu of reading selections to various students, alums, and other folks interested in becoming better writers. To receive it via email, sign up below!
The materials used to create the popular course Good with Words: Writing and Editing are now available for free online. There is also a print version and a Kindle version.
For more, see the Good Sentences Books page.
[Important note: Good Sentences does not endorse any of the opinions contained in the sentences in the collection. The only thing we endorse is the elegantly effective way these sentences were constructed.]
