The Writer's FAQ's Summary

The Writer's FAQ's: A Pocket Handbook by Muriel Harris, Professor Emerita

For Freshman-level writing courses, such as Freshman Composition, English Composition, First-Year Writing, Expository Writing, any writing-intensive course, or any course where students need a reference for writing, grammar, research and documentation.

The easiest pocket handbook to use.

This brief pocket handbook is a user-friendly guide for writers to help them quickly find information on a comprehensive list of topics needed to write papers in any course. It is written in a clear, jargon-free, direct, concise, and friendly manner and has a unique method for helping writers find the material they need because it does not require knowledge of grammatical terminology. The goal is to enable writers to find their own answers so that they can write independently and confidently (and not wait for teachers to mark errors and problems).
