Synopsis

For first-year rhetoric and composition, and other writing courses where an in-depth look at the writing process is important.

Written in a friendly writer-to-writer tone, this brief, no-nonsense, non-threatening, process-oriented rhetoric helps students improve their writing abilities by showing them that writing well is a matter of making wise choices rather than following formulaic rules. Recognizing 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 text 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.
