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.

Uniquely helpful materials for students whose main language is not English

The Little Seagull offers guidance on prepositions, gerunds and infinitive, phrasal and modal verbs, articles, and idioms—issues that non-native speakers find difficult and must learn.

Covers the kinds of writing college students have to do

Most pocket-sized handbooks have little or nothing on the precise genres that college students are expected to do—or even on writing paragraphs; those that do offer only very basic info (e.g., on the writing process or the fundamentals of argument) however the Little Seagull presents far more than that. The Third Edition covers 9 genres, including two new chapters on proposals and reflections.

User-friendly documentation guidelines for Chicago, APA, and CSE styles

Documentation directories lead students to the precise examples they need, so they will not have to page through the e-book searching—and color-coded templates show what info to incorporate. The MLA chapter reflects the official MLA style introduced in 2016 and features a full MLA-style paper.

A new section on Editing Errors that Matter

Covering 14 errors teachers have identified as ones that matter the most, this chapter explains why they matter—and walks college students through a number of ways of editing every one. The chapter goes hand in hand with InQuizitive for Writers, which gives engaging practice in editing these same errors.
