Review

“I really like the way the writing process is explained, how everything the writer needs is there in every chapter.”

–Althea Rhodes, University of Arkansas–Fort Smith

 

“Writing is a process. Reid’s Guide is very effectively built on that premise.”

–Darin Cozzens, Surry Community College

 

“Both novice and experienced teachers can find a wealth of materials to choose from and teach the selections they like best.”

–Eileen Miller, Keiser University

 

“The Reid text strikes the right balance, and this is so helpful to beginning teachers. There is inspiration aplenty, but not so much to leave one feeling overwhelmed.”

–Christy Rishoi, Mott Community College

 

“Because of the breadth of the text, teachers have the ability to create the kind of course that fits both their teaching styles and the requirements of their university programs.”

–Jessica Enoch, University of Pittsburgh
