Publisher's Synopsis
For first-year courses in Composition/Rhetoric.
A guide for writing in the modes - a rhetoric and reader
At every step of the writing process, Strategies for Successful Writing, Concise Edition supports students as they learn to compose in the rhetorical modes. Over 100 short examples demonstrate writing concepts and strategies, so that they can recognize them more easily in the longer reading selections and apply them in their own compositions. The Concise Edition excludes the handbook and research guide included in the comprehensive parent edition, but just like its parent, the instruction is kept brief and to the point, so that students spend more time writing and less time reading about writing.
