Synopsis
This Compact Edition of Writers' Choices: Grammar for Effective Writing retains the longer book's approach to English syntax as something to delight in and experiment with. It does not include sentence diagramming. Brief, focused grammar explanations lead directly to rhetorical applications. Students practice using various syntactic structures in sentence combining, sentence composing, and combining sentences in the context of paragraphs. An answer key helps students check their work. Designed for college composition classes, the Compact Edition has also been used successfully in teacher education classes and developmental English classes.

About the Author
Michael Kischner and Edith Wollin are both retired from North Seattle Community College, where they taught a wide range of composition, ESL, and literature courses. Among their most popular courses was Advanced English Grammar, which Edith created with the goal of having a grammar course that actually did improve student writing. Together, Edith and Michael wrote a textbook for that course, the original of the present book. A condensed version intended for composition courses, Writers Choices: Grammar to Improve Style, was published by Harcourt College Publishers, later Cengage, and is now available as a CoursePack from XanEdu. Michael and Edith have conducted several teacher-training workshops at national meetings of the NCTE s Assembly for the Teaching of English Grammar. Michael, who was named 1998 Washington State College Professor of the Year by the Carnegie Foundation, graduated from Kenyon College and The Johns Hopkins University and has a Ph.D. in English from the University of Washington. Edith, who became NSCC s Dean of Arts, Humanities, and Adult Basic Education, graduated in English from Pacific Lutheran University and has advanced degrees in English from the University of Kansas and the University of Washington.
