Write Like Hemingway: Find Your Voice, Discover Your Style Using the 10 Rules That Guided A Nobel Laureate

This book examines how The Kansas City Star’s style guide shaped Hemingway’s distinctive writing style.

Acclaimed for his prose, this book connects Hemingway’s early writing job to his memorable fiction. After high school, before driving an ambulance in World War I, he spent about 6 months writing police reports for The Kansas City Star. Following the paper’s strict style guide, with rules like short sentences and about 100 more, Hemingway learned narrative economy and carried these lessons with him.
