The author passionately believes that everyone can improve as a
writer, a conviction earned through twenty years of empowering
young writers. This handy guidebook explains in an accessible way
the keys to writing well, providing valuable insight into the
fundamentals of the writing process and seventy incisive pieces of
advice. It can help teachers inspire students' engagement and guide
their development. A student reading this concise book will be
encouraged by realizing that writing well is not a magical gift
some people have and others don't, but a skill she or he can
develop. It clarifies that writing is thinking and that vigorous
revision as the heart of the writing process empowers students to
express themselves clearly and precisely, making writing an
engaging activity reflecting their most vibrant intellectual
experience, valuable not just for assessing learning but as an
essential means to foster deep learning and critical thinking. As a
resource for faculty development, it provides many insights and
activities to help instructors across the curriculum support
student writing. It makes a powerful case for establishing a
writing center in schools that do not yet have one. This concise
guidebook is useful for secondary and post-secondary students, for
educators in training, for advocates of and consultants in writing
across the curriculum, for high school teachers and college faculty
in professional development, and for all people who are eager to
improve their writing skills and take pleasure in an activity
essential to modern life that has not yet proved satisfying to
them. For instructor exam copies and bulk discounts (30% on
