The Flexible Writer: A Basic Guide

By Susanna Rich

Fledgling writers must know the basics of writing in order to get published. Writing is a process that involves prewriting, writing, revising, and writing again. Often, writers will go through the process numerous times before they are pleased with the outcome. This book approaches writing from a basic level and helps novice writers learn to understand that good writing is the result of an often long and frustrating process. This book is divided into four parts. Part one focuses on the writer and provides strategies for confidence building and getting started. Part two offers a dynamic new writing process model; part three presents writing strategies for both personal and professional purposes. Finally, part four is designed to help writers better understand sentence-level choices. Anyone who wants to improve and enhance their current writing.

Customer Reviews

Dr. Rich's book is clear and concise.

Dr. Rich's book teaches its readers how to write like a professional. Not only does it show readers what to include in their prose it shows them what to avoid writing, such as cliches. I was a student of Dr. Rich's and she taught me how to write properly. This book should be mandatory for all college freshman, regardless of their major. Steven B. Hanger
