Unique, dynamic presentations of reading, writing, and research processes in the text bring writing alive for students and speak to students with many learning styles. Throughout the book, Lester Faigley works to keep students engaged and learning, with such notable features as “process maps” to guide students through the major writing assignments, extensive examples of student “Writers at work,” and diverse, distinctive reading selections.

Faigley, Writing: A Guide for College And Beyond, 2/E

Lester Faigley teaches students reading, writing, and research strategies that will help them be successful in college and beyond, using a combination of concise, accessible instruction, unique visual explications, plentiful examples, and engaging assignments and readings.
Important concepts and processes are presented in concise spreads letting students see the key points they should master at a glance.
In Chapters 7-14, unique color-coded flowcharts called “Process Maps” use both words and images to instruct students in the writing process. Students first see an overview of how to write in each of the eight major “aims,” and then five key stages of the process are discussed in detail with specific strategies for invention, drafting and revising.
“Writer at work” sections in Chapters 7-14 show examples of student writers working through the writing process, from invention through revision to a final paper. Instead of just showing a finished paper, these sections let students see another student working through the whole messy, creative process of writing.
Writing “Projects” that conclude Chapters 7-14 offer a variety of assignments, ranging from essays to a field observation paper, a profile, a film review, and a position argument.
The 57 readings offer engaging, diverse models of writing for different purposes, including selections by such well-known writers as Bharati Mukherjee, David Sedaris, Amy Tan, Annie Dillard, Dagoberto Gilb, Alice Walker, Edward Tufte, Frederick Douglass, and Steven Johnson.
Most reading selections are designed to look like original publications (an editorial looks like a page from a newspaper, a Web article looks like a Web page, and so on), thus exposing students to a diversity of genres they will encounter in college and beyond.
Staying on Track boxes focus on common writing problems and give students concrete advice for how to avoid such problems.
Write Now boxes give brief writing assignments that are designed to help students discover ideas and explore where they lead. Working Together boxes give collaborative activities.
In Part 3, students are given instruction in and strategies for the research process (see Chapters 15-20). Students see a “Researcher at work” complete an assignment by using the strategies given in the chapters. Avoiding plagiarism, evaluating sources, and using the Internet as a research tool are covered.
Documentation guidelines for MLA and APA styles are provided in Chapters 21 and 22, as well as model research papers in both formats. Each chapter also features several “source samples” which show students how to find the essential information needed to put together a citation.
Eleven student papers, all with sources and citations and many with images, give students realistic, accurate models to learn from.
More than 300 visuals, many of them photographs taken by the author, not only make every page of the text lively and engaging, but they also serve to support the main points made in each chapter.
Concise chapters on design and using visuals are included in Part 4. These provide practical instruction for students and instructors interested in both rhetorical and technical advice for how to using visuals most effectively when composing.
A guide to style and grammar found in Part 5 concludes the text.
Brief Appendices offer suggestions for writing essay exams and creating portfolios.

Unique, dynamic presentations of reading, writing, and research processes speak to students with many learning styles and help students become successful writers in college and beyond.

Here’s What Teachers Are Saying

“Writing has managed a great feat–to gather together under one cover what is essential to the craft of expository writing at the college level and to do so in an amazing and colorful layout.” — Gary Enns, Cerro Coso Community College

“I’d describe Writing as a rhetoric that’s actually rooted in rhetorical principles and genre theory. It eliminates much of the wordy instruction commonly used in writing texts in favor of a distillation of essential information and instruction with numerous examples.” — Jeffrey Andelora, Mesa Community College

“I think this text succeeds to a better degree than one that tries to explain the writing process solely via a narrative. I think showing handwritten brainstorming, showing notations on a first draft, showing attempts to create a good beginning (and multiple mediocre beginnings) are all good.” — Larry Riley, Ball State University

“Writing treats students respectfully. It situates them as fellow explorers. . . . It asks them to draw on their own experiences a great deal throughout the text and, along with being ‘inviting,’ that strategy clearly tells readers that they are co-constructors of knowledge, that their experiences are valid.” — Patricia Webb, Arizona State University (reviewer)

“I believe that the selection of readings that accompany each of the kinds of writing (reflecting, observing, informing, etc.) are superb choices, because their subjects are contemporary and of interest to students and also provide a variety of genres–from articles to essays to blogs and leaflets.” — Martha Petry, Jackson Community College

“One of the problems with most textbooks is they overwhelm readers with written text; this textbook doesn’t do that. More importantly, the images in this book aren’t merely eye candy; they help illustrate/teach the ideas discussed on each page.” — Brett McInelly, Brigham Young University

And Here’s What Students Are Saying

“This is one of the most helpful, thorough, and resourceful texts I’ve seen thus far.” — Lauren Olsen, Castleton State College

“I thought the chapters did an excellent job of combining visual and textual explanations of the material. The combined presentation of the two gave me a greater understanding of the concepts.” — John Weiss, Jr., Ball State University

“College students have a lot of reading in every class and this text is more interesting and to the point. It is not busy work.” — Missi Dreyer, Grand Valley State University

“This book is more eye catching to me, and more informational. I will actually read this book!” — Abbey Kline, Ball State University

“I like the fact that with the visual pictures I could understand the readings better.” — Jorge Arias, Grand Valley State University
