Writing With Power by Peter Elbow
Writing with Power is a guide for the student writing an essay, the professional writer working on a story, or the manager writing a memo for a tight deadline. As Elbow explains, `Writing with power doesn't just mean getting power over readers. It means getting power over yourself and over the writing process.' For the second edition, Elbow has written a new introduction in which he discusses in detail the `mysterious' dimensions of `Writing with Power' -- voice, quality and bad writing, wrongness and felt sense, and sharing written work with others.
"Students for the first time are excited about being able to transform their thoughts into clear language with a new found confidence"--Alan Dernalowicz, Mount Wachusett Community College Praise for the previous edition: "Page after page, chapter after chapter, Peter Elbow gives direct and down-to-earth advice for beginning writers."--Teachers and Writers "A practical handbook for anyone who needs to write."--The Boston Globe "A valuable aid for those who need to write who are hindered by lack of tools needed to successfully complete such a task on a day-to-day basis."--Gary Douglas, WITC
