Learn to write badly : how to succeed in the social sciences

Michael Billig (2013)

This book analyses some of the ways in which modern writing in the Social sciences has become less precise and more difficult to read, citing examples such as over-use of specialist terminology, inventing new words to explain existing concepts and the tendency to write in a noun-dense way.

Although not a writing manual, by using multiple examples of bad writing, the author conveys a sense of how to analyse and improve your own writing.
