Real Essays: Writing Projects for College, Work, and Everyday Life

by Susan Anker

Developed with the guidance of expert instructors and class-tested by hundreds of students, Susan Anker's Real Writing: Paragraphs and Essays for College, Work, and Everyday Life was the first developmental writing textbook to put writing in a real-world context and to cement the connection between what students learn in their college composition course and how they live their lives. It has remained a successful text because of its thorough, practical writing instruction and the message that writing well is both anessential and achievable skill. Featuring photos, quotes, profiles, and advice, Real Writing is infused with the voices and concerns of developmental writing instructors and their students. Susan Anker now brings her unique approach to Real Essays: Writing Projects for College, Work, and Everyday Life, the second in a two-book series that meets the needs and acknowledges the challenges faced by students and instructors who live in the real world.
