Description
THE COLLEGE WRITER'S REFERENCE explains and illustrates the qualities of good writing as well as the logic of the traditional rules of grammar and usage. Its suggestions to writers about style, convention, and form are presented as editorial choices rather than mechanical prescriptions. This handbook emphasizes that good writing is a mix of inventive composing, judicious revising, and rigorous and informed editing.
