Synopsis
This handbook offers concise and encouraging writing instruction focusing on an academic style that will be helpful for professionals, educators, and students at the college and high school level. Covering grammar, form, and style, the book offers advice on organizing thoughts and creating structure, gathering data and using credible sources, describing empirical research, and writing theses and dissertations. Among its tenets, the book offers that all writers write poorly on their first drafts (and that this should be celebrated), and that fewer words are always preferable.
