• Summary:"No matter what the writing assignment - journal article, executive summary, grant proposal, curriculum guide, or consultant's report - The Work of Writing will serve as an invaluable aid for faculty and professionals who need to hone their writing skills. In this book Elizabeth Rankin draws on her years of experiences as a leader of academic writing groups and shares a wealth of scenarios from actual writing experiences. These helpful stories speak to complex issues of audience, purpose, genre, and voice that writers routinely address. Using the strategies found in The Work of Writing will make the job of the writer more manageable, more productive, and more rewarding."--BOOK JACKET.
