Synopsis

The Concise Canadian Writer's Handbook is a streamlined version of the well-established Canadian Writer's Handbook. This handbook features the accessible, well-organized structure of the full volume, including descriptions and examples of the entire writing process: from basic grammar to constructing sentences and paragraphs, pre-writing, composing, proofreading, and editing. The text is suitable for students of all levels of study and includes EAL icons that point to material of particular benefit to students learning English as an additional language.

This new edition features an updated and expanded documentation section that includes more citations for online sources, as well as colour coding to help students recognize the common elements among in-text and reference citations.
