Clear, simple, and straightforward, this developmental writing book includes thorough coverage of the writing process, numerous opportunities for grammar practice, a variety of writing opportunities, and contemporary, interesting readings.

Unlike most texts for developing writers, The Write Start begins with sentence formation, moves to paragraph organization, and ends with one chapter on the full essay. Although this is one suggestion for a course outline, the chapters are self-contained units allowing for flexibility of design, depending on the instructor’s own needs and that of the class. Within the text, references are made to other chapters and to The Writer’s Resources section when appropriate.
