Theodore A. Rees Cheney, Writing Creative NonFiction: How to Use
Fiction Techniques to Make Your Nonfiction More Interesting, Dramatic
and Vivid(Berkeley, CA: Ten Speed Press, 1991). The advice here
is orientated towards journalism and general-interest non-fiction
writing, but it could apply also to literary and cultural studies areas.
The emphasis is on actively trying to interest readers.
Joseph M. Williams, Style: Towards Clarity and Grace (Chicago:
University of Chicago Press, 1995). I find this the most useful book
on style issues, with systematically based and modern-looking advice.
There are a lot of carefully worked examples, but also a useful focus
on the intellectual purposes that you are trying to achieve.
