Writing From A To Z

Plot

Organized alphabetically like a dictionary, [this book] enables you to turn directly to the information you need without first having to figure out what broader category your writing problem belongs to (usage. grammar. style. something else.) as you would in a topically organized handbook ... The first section of the book provides detailed guidance that will help you adapt your composing processes to suit the various writing situations you encounter. It covers topics such as identifying purpose, analyzing audience, drafting, revising, and proofreading ... The second section of the book will guide you through the processes of gathering information from a wide variety of primary and secondary sources, print and electronic, and using it effectively in documented papers.-To the student.
