A Writer's Reference has offered clear and quick answers to tough questions for millions of
college writers. With a groundbreaking tabbed lay-flat format and a first-of-its-kind
directness it helped a generation of students engage in their own writing and meet the
challenges of the composition course. As we celebrate the 10th edition we invite you to see
our latest innovation--our latest answer to the question we have been asking for 35 years: How
can we help? We help with superior content developed by experienced authors and shaped by
faculty and student advisers. And we help with Achieve a first-of-its-kind suite of digital
tools paired with content you trust. The 10th edition is available with Achieve. Achieve lets
you engage students in new ways. They do the work of the composition course in a contained and
active writing space: they read write reflect respond to peers consult the handbook and
make action plans. And instructors use Achieve to design and facilitate writing assignments

writing processes--lets you see "between the drafts." Insights for each writer and for each
