A core text designed for the university and college markets, The Empowered Writer gives students a detailed yet widely applicable and accessible guide for developing skills in writing and research, including personal and business communication. This 4-in-1 text covers rhetoric, research, and grammar, and provides integrated readings with annotations. Extensive pedagogy includes individual and collaborative exercises, in-text examples to illustrate key ideas, critical-thinking questions at the end of each reading, margin notes to define core concepts and provide targeted learning support, and sample student essays. In this revised edition, 7 of the 18 essays are new (5 new professional essays; 2 new student essays) and are on topics relevant to students in Canada, including the experiences of immigrant students, poverty, environmental protection, and the legacy of residential schools. The text has also been updated to include more exercises and examples, with a particular focus on students whose first language is not English.

Writing by Choice is a comprehensive, widely applicable approach to developing writing skills for the academic, business, and personal realms. This "4-in-1" text focuses on helping student writers make informed choices among the many variables involved in different types of writing. Students learn about the three common types of student essays (argumentative, research, literary) and topics relevant to today's classroom, such as electronic research, source reliability, diction and vocabulary, and writing across the disciplines. The third edition is divided into three parts (a rhetoric with integrated reader, a research guide, and a handbook) and features learning objectives, current examples, new academic and professional readings, annotated student essays, definitions and cross-references in the margins, individual and collaborative exercises, chapter summaries, and a glossary.
