This book is written as a practical guide for students struggling to bring their writing up to the level expected of them by their professors and instructors.

We have simply passed on what has worked well for us in our own experiences as college writers and instructors. This book is written by real college writers who know what it takes to earn an "A" on their writing projects. |
