Synopsis

The Canadian Writer's Handbook, Second Essentials Edition is a streamlined version of the successful Concise Canadian Writer's Handbook. The Essentials Edition uses the accessible, well-organized, and classroom-tested structure of the full volume, and continues to feature descriptions and examples of the entire writing process, from basic grammar, to constructing sentences and paragraphs, to pre-writing, composing, proofreading, and editing. This new edition features a fully updated documentation section that uses special colour coding to help students recognize the common elements among in-text and reference citations.
