Writing from the Core is more than a handbook: it is a roadmap that leads to correct and effective writing. -An effective writing style begins with well-written sentences: sentences that speak to the reader clearly and concisely. - Structure and style cross paths at the sentence core: gain control of the sentence core, and you also gain control of your editing and revising skills. - In fact, once you can edit and revise with skill, you may spend more time mulling over your writing and reaching deeper insight, improving substance as well as style. Writing from the Core takes the mystery out of how to produce correct, clear, and concise writing, building confidence along with skill. I love this approach; it's practical yet personal. Writing from the Core is a guide with personality - it takes theory and makes it real. -Elizabeth Anderson, Writing Instructor, College of DuPage A straight-forward handbook that has been infinitely more useful than any handbook or workbook I've used in college. -Dominic Schiralli, Fine Arts major, Indiana University Northwest Students who use this method have a much easier time with composition. Structure becomes easy, so they can focus on building their writing skills. This is a great method producing fantastic results. - Peggy Patlan, Adult Education Instructor, Moraine Valley Community College
