Product Description

A Brief Writer's Handbook: Conventions & Expectations for Writing is a basic grammar and writing skills handbook for the developmental writer. It presents grammar, usage, and essay characteristics as conventions that facilitate communication. The logic—and occasional illogic—behind the grammar and usage principles is presented, along with common departures from convention and the contexts within which the departures are acceptable. A Brief Writer's Handbookgoes beyond the traditional handbook to explain the WHY behind the rules, and in that way it engages readers and helps them commit to learning the ways of experienced writers.
