Synopsis

In the new edition of WRITING WITH STYLE, the authors continue to provide students with guidance on how to prepare a research paper using APA style. The book applies a "learning through modeling" approach, which is in keeping with the social work profession's literature. It is replete with exercises that reinforce and instill the basic elements of the APA style. Students can fill in the exercises directly in the book and thereby develop their writing skills.

Review

"I am impressed by the fact that every common mistake my students (and other writers) make is addressed in this book. In every case the logic (what makes the mistake a mistake) is spelled out clearly and preferred options are stipulated."

"...the text (is) a valuable resource for all social work students. It is well organized and well-written."

"This is a simple, straightforward, user-friendly APA writing guide for social work students and professionals."
