Written in a friendly writer-to-writer tone, this brief, no-nonsense, non-threatening, process-oriented rhetoric helps users improve their writing abilities by showing them that writing well is a matter of making wise choices rather than following formulaic rules. It recognizes that inexperienced writers need to gain confidence in their voices and ideas as much as they need practice in the technical requirements of good writing. The book focuses on rhetorical issues of audience, purpose and voice as well as on strategies for starting, researching (field, library, and Internet), revising, editing, and publishing writing—with detailed information on six types of essays. An abundance of student writing samples illustrates each step of the writing process, and brief student interviews breathe life and authenticity into every page of the text. For anyone seeking an in-depth look at the writing process.
