This classic rhetoric has taught thousands of students to write clearer, more eloquent prose through practice.

Teeming with exercises, The Writer's Options encourages students to investigate their writing “options” through sentence-combining to create more sophisticated, more effective constructions. This edition brings new Preview sections at the beginning of each lesson, to give students guideposts as to what they will learn in the lesson. More than 25% of the examples and exercises are new, and like the previous editions, they reflect appealing, interesting themes often in a lighthearted vein.
