About this audiobook
For many writers, the first sentence of an essay is intimidating. This audio book, which is narrated like a conversation with a personal tutor, guides you on planning and editing an outstanding essay. It offers practical, easy-to-follow instructions that help you overcome anxiety and self-doubt. There are many resources on grammar and punctuation. This audio book does not explore them at great length. Instead, it hones in on the overarching issues that many English language learners, persons pursuing a high school equivalency diploma, and college students enrolled in remedial and introductory writing courses face. You are 30 minutes away from beginning the process of unleashing your true writing potential.
