Description
The pocket-sized handbook (in this case, an e-Book in PDF format) that does the work of a full-sized handbook, The Little Seagull Handbook 3rd edition (PDF) is now with a brand new section on editing the errors that matter.
Most ebooks include chapters on various general writing subjects (e.g., the writing process or the elements of an argument), however few covers the particular kinds of writing students are assigned to do. The Little Seagull has chapters on analyses, reports, and all the other genres that college students are most often assigned. And because it is so easy to use, so small, and so reasonably priced, it is proven to be a preferred alternative to bigger (and much more expensive) ebooks. The 3rd edition adds a new section on editing the errors that matter—and the option to incorporate free access to InQuizitive for Writers, which provides practice in editing the same errors.

The Third Edition covers 9 genres, including two new chapters on proposals and reflections.
