The Writer's Options encourages students to investigate their writing “options” through sentence-combining and rearrangement to create more sophisticated, more effective compositions.

This classic rhetoric has taught thousands of students to write clearer, more eloquent prose.  Teeming with exercises, The Writer's Options affords students ample practice with arranging and rearranging sentences, paragraphs, and essays as a means of strengthening writing. The authors first introduce the writing process, they then move to style and revising sentences, and they culminate with rearrangement and revising whole documents.
