The Longman Pocket Writers Companion

Product Review

Inexpensive ($10 net), brief, and pocket-sized, The Longman Pocket Writer's Companion offers concise advice in areas students most frequently need help: research writing, documentation, the writing process, grammar, punctuation, and mechanics. The authors' unique Read/Recognize/Revise approach to grammar teaches students to identify errors and provides strategies to help them avoid these errors in their own writing. With a focus on writing and researching in the academic, public, and workplace communities, the text encourages students to adjust their writing style according to the needs of their audience.

This little book has been lifesaver throughout my college career. Every paper I turned in I used this book as a reference to make sure I was setting it up in the proper format required by the professor. It is small but gives you all the needed information for perfecting citing. Everyone who has to write a paper with MLA or APA format needs this.
