This thorough, engaging, basic-skills text is based on the premise that writing is an evolving, non-linear process. New Writers emphasizes sentence and paragraph development, culminating in a concise personal essay. It provides a structure for students with different learning styles, helping them develop well-written, expressive sentences and paragraphs.
The second edition has been reorganized and has many new exercises and papers.
The text integrates mechanics:
- parts of a sentence
- types of sentences
- paragraph structure
- essay structure
with process:
- prewriting

New Writers introduces student journals as a resource for future writing topics and an opportunity to write freely and informally. Thought-provoking examples by students as well as professionals assure high interest.
