Real Writing

Launched with the first edition of Real Writing in 1998, the Anker series acknowledges that the writing students do extends beyond the classroom to work and their everyday lives. Real Writing, for the paragraph-to-essay course; Real Essays, for the essay course; and now Real Skills, a new book for the sentence-to-paragraph course, motivate students with their message that writing is an essential and achievable skill: advice, examples, assignments, and interviews with successful former students show the relevance of writing to all aspects of students' lives. Now, the fourth edition of Real Writing gives students more help with every skill they need for college success.
