WRITING RESOURCES

Writing research shows that writing is a process, but it is not always a smooth one. It is recursive—looping back and forth between stages. Generally, you start with some brainstorming and research, then draft and revise, and, finally, edit for grammar and citations styles. Here are some links and handouts to help you along the way.
