The Simon & Schuster Guide to Writing won great acclaim in its first edition for its full integration of reading and writing instruction. Each chapter includes reading selections, assignments, and instruction that reinforce the writing instruction and assignments. These assignments provide students with a wide range of writing and reading opportunities that are personal, public, pragmatic, and aesthetic. Instruction in each chapter focuses on important concepts such as purpose and audience, modes of development, and thesis/support. The readings reflect a balance of female and male authors as well as diverse ethnic backgrounds.

Key Benefit: Renowned authors Jeanette Harris and Donald H. Cunningham present the Second Edition of the acclaimed Simon & Schuster Guide to Writing—a book organized around purposes and emphasizing the interactions between reading and writing. Key Topics: The book provides an innovative four- part organization comprised of a Concepts section that introduces purpose and audience and the reading and writing processes; the main section of the book, Purposes, that explains reading and writing purposes and strategies by way of thematically organized readings and writing assignments; a Strategies reference section that explains the strategies, techniques, and rhetorical opportunities writers use to create effective books, and a Handbook that offers guidelines for diction, usage, punctuation, and mechanics. This arrangement ensures that readers have easy access to important concepts without the repetitiousness of most purpose-organized rhetorics. Clear and user-friendly, The Simon & Schuster Guide to Writing is one of the most innovative reading and writing resources available today.
