English Writing Skills

Hello everyone,

As the subject says I want to ask if you know any books on how to improve my english writing skills, focusing mainly on academic writing skills. Although I can read fairly easy any english text, I’ve often found myself lacking confidence in my english writing skills. Since my native language is portuguese I still have some doubts on where to place commas, etc., in english. I’m going to take a Cambridge course, but I wanted to ask if you know any self-study guide or similar stuff.

Thank you for your attention!
(oh, if you find any mistake, please correct me, I will be grateful)

English should be capitalized. :wink:

Thank you, bedwere!
And I’m sorry for posting this, I know it’s off topic, but I saw that everybody is very helpful here! :slight_smile:

You might try “Strunk & White”, a classic work on writing American English.

Maybe start a blog about stuff you like and find a proofreader around here.
