Book Overview
This new rhetoric builds on the strengths of earlier editions, offering students clear and useful suggestions for strengthening their writing and showing them how they can develop a piece of effective writing through a process that is manageable and reliable.
In the twenty years since the first edition of Successful Writing, the elements of good writing have not changed. But the kinds of writing college students now do and the ways they deliver their writing have changed a great deal. Students today still write essays and research papers, but they also create Web sites, give oral presentations (and thus write and design PowerPoint slides), produce brochures, and of course write a lot of email. The new edition of Successful Writing offers students the kind of sensible, real-world advice they need for these and many other writing situations

Ghost Instructor
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
As a community college instructor, I am able to help my students only one evening a week. Maxine Hairston, on the other hand, helps them as many evenings as they want, and she is available on weekends, on demand, for as long as they keep the book. When she talks with them, she reassures them that writing is not impossible, that they have great things to say, and that following some clear steps will make life much easier. She counsels them on how to get started, how to make their writing both clear and coherent, and how to end. Without Ms. Hairston, our writing lives would be much less satisfying. I highly recommend her assistance.
