Combining streamlined, nuts-and-bolts writing instruction with outstanding accessibility and visual appeal, The College Writer Brief breaks new ground in brief rhetorics.

From dynamic visuals to engaging essays and examples, the authors have made both content and presentation optimally exciting and useful for the student.
