Synopsis

Fledgling writers must know the basics of writing in order to get published. Writing is a process that involves prewriting, writing, reing, and writing again. Often, writers will go through the process numerous times before they are pleased with the outcome. This book approaches writing from a basic level and helps novice writers learn to understand that good writing is the result of an often long and frustrating process. This book is divided into four parts. Part one focuses on the writer and provides strategies for confidence building and getting started. Part two offers a dynamic new writing process model; part three presents writing strategies for both personal and professional purposes. Finally, part four is designed to help writers better understand sentence-level choices. Anyone who wants to improve and enhance their current writing.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The Flexible Writer is designed for instructors who believe that writing is a process and that students should write and revise often to improve as writers.

Throughout, the book encourages students to be flexible in their writing as purposes and audiences change. The book is also designed to be flexible enough to accommodate both new and experienced instructors with different emphases, and to encourage students of different ages and cultural backgrounds to write with confidence.

Divided into four parts with chapters that can be followed in sequence or used as needed, in part or whole, the fourth edition emphasizes a focused approach to writing with increased attention to computer-based writing and research and documentation. Part I focuses on the writer and provides strategies for confidence-building and getting started. Part II offers a dynamic writing process model with separate chapters devoted to identifying purpose and audience, collecting and drafting, focusing, organizing, consulting, and revising. Part III presents six chapters which offer writing strategies for both personal and academic purposes. Part IV is designed to help students better understand sentence-level choices and to show that grammar and punctuation can vary in different kinds of discourse.
