WRITING IN THE WORKS (WITW) uses a real-world writing approach to intrigue and inspire users of all ages and backgrounds--showing you how to produce well-written pieces that people will want to read. The book's 11 Assignment chapters cover real-world genres such as application essays, news articles, editorials, proposals, public service messages, and film reviews. WITW is motivating and sophisticated, with dynamic visuals, timely readings, and obvious relevance and connection to the real world. Throughout, the authors don't treat you as a learner, but as a serious writer who is capable of writing for an actual audience. In all of the book's writing tasks, you are asked to write as if your work will be submitted for publication--or to actually to do so. With this as the end result, you learn genre conventions, audience, purpose, research, critical thinking, and style--skills directly transferable to all kinds of writing, including writing you may do for work and community.

Good to go...,
By Glenn Dowell (New York, NY USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Writing in the Works, 2009 MLA Update Edition (Paperback)
I was satisfied with the product, the condition of it, and the speed of delivery. It was expensive, but significantly less than the college bookstore. What are you gonna do? The cost for college books is a very profittable venture for those who exploit the students' needs.
4.0 out of 5 stars
Great Book,

This review is from: Writing in the Works, 2009 MLA Update Edition (Paperback)
I got this book for class, English 111, and so far it has been a good help. There were some very good writing examples just in the first chapter that actually kind of kept me hooked to reading. Sometimes you find yourself reading some of these books for class and they make you want to fall asleep, this one actually keeps your attention focused and I have been learning quite a bit from it.
