The Decisive Writer

Kathryn Raign teaches students that becoming a better writer can simply be a matter of learning to make effective choices during each stage of the writing process. This first edition brief rhetoric prepares students to make good decisions about their writing and to understand that every decision they make as writers requires a solid rationale. THE DECISIVE WRITER employs a theme in each chapter to connect the student essays, graphics, and professional essays, and provides a compelling context for effective writing responses.
