Clear, Precise, Direct

Clear, Precise, Direct by Duncan Koerber

Clear, Precise, Direct provides a concise set of strategies to help students improve their writing skills at the sentence level with a focus on application and revision. Students will learn the key principles of clear, effective writing and practice applying them to their own work through a series of lessons, exercises, and peer writing samples.

Perhaps strong above all is this text's emphasis on process (eg., the importance of freewriting) as well as the richness of the instruction throughout that seems to come from tearing down the wall between composition and 'creative' writing. Freedom at last!" * Sheila M. Ross, Capilano University *
I find this text to be applicable to both expository and creative writing classes, and it's great that the text can bridge these different aspects of writing instruction. . . . This text is in many ways new in its approach, and I think its innovative nature is most welcome in the world of textbooks." * Christopher Lee, Western University *
