Review

"This is the best book I know of its kind. Far too many developmental-level text books are dumbed down, and are rather patronizing, I often feel, towards students. Steps to Writing Well does an excellent all-round job of helping students improve in all areas of their writing. I have used it exclusively and continuously for fifteen years, and will certainly continue to do so."

"Steps to Writing Well is a comprehensive text for the first year writing student and includes the details of instruction which address several academic venues. The writing is clear, concise and readily understood by students and provides essential instruction in the many formats of writing instruction from the compare and contrast essay to writing an essay using research. Additionally, the sections regarding grammar usage and the essential appendix containing up to date changes in MLA format enhance the work's accuracy."
