Writing by Choice is a comprehensive, detailed, and widely applicable approach to developing skills in writing in the academic, business, and personal realms. Author Eric Henderson understands the challenges inherent in communicatingclearly, thoughtfully, and effectively. He also believes that while essential, guidelines and rules should enhance, rather than hamper, thought and expression. At the heart Writing by Choice, then, is a focus on helping student writers make informed choices among the many variables that present themselves in different types of writing.
