Synopsis

This rhetoric is a compendium of writing process strategies. Tried and tested methods of idea generation, outlining, drafting, revising and editing are explained, illustrated with examples and arranged for reference. This text reviews the essentials of essay structure and the stages of the writing process in the first chapter. Considerations such as audience, purpose and role are also covered. Comments and questions that students may have such as "I don't like my draft" or "I can't think of the right word" are used to label subsections so students should be able to find the section they need. This text can be used as a stand-alone rhetoric or as a supplement to a reader or handbook.
