内容简介

Writing may be a solitary endeavor, but whether you're craft-ing the great American novel, drafting a term paper, or　penning a memoir, organizing your thoughts from a mass of　scattered ideas to a cohesive--and readable--book requires　more than a computer spellcheck. You need a companion at　your side to offer advice both practical and inspirational--and　The Oxford Essential Writer's Reference is it, whether you're a　student working on a thesis, a manager preparing a presenta-tion, a beginning writer struggling to make that first sale, or　a professional author seeking new resources in the infor-mation age.
